The GTF seems to be highly unreliable whereas the CFM alternative LEAP engine on the A320 has been working out well


Has P&W pushed technology too far in the quest for the lowest possible fuel burn ?


Those savings don’t count for much when you have to keep replacing engines, I hope there’s a permanent fix before there’s an accident


If not there’ll be a lot of second guessing and another modern jet transport grounded
