hobie, My friend obviously got wind of something as verified by this thread. He just didn't have all the details.
I agree that Boeing and AF will be driven mad by this problem but because it has happened on an engine that has only just entered service. The late delivery, potential lost revenue, service management will all make them mad.
As for the event. It doesn't matter that it occured on pre delivery, delivery or in service, it is still an engine shut down on a new engine. This should concern us all.
I suppose AF should be thankful that this problem doesn't require them to follow every take off with a dustpan like BA's experience.
