These issues have been going on in one way or another for over two years. Rolls Royce have continually moved the goalposts plus new issues have arisen. In the meantime air nz have got rid of perfectly good 767s when they had ongoing 787 issues at the time. They then got lease 777s and again, have started getting rid of them before 787 issues fully resolved. All the talk now about getting 787 10s and getting rid of the 777 200 in 2022. Yes, new GE engines but who’s not to say they’ll have issues. Wouldn’t be releasing one more perfectly reliable 777 until all 787s run seamlessly. Company and accountants being tight! All they see are fuel savings re fleet composition. Not prepared to have an extra cent on the bottom line re 777s over 787 a moment longer than they have to. Customers and brand the losers. Meanwhile managers get bonuses
