From what I can remember from my 'Advanced Boroscope Inspection' (sic) course the CFM 56 is particularly susceptible to turbine blade damage post bird strike as the feather quills block the blade cooling holes.

Result is very expensive, turbine blades melted and possible engine failure.

Food for thought next time you consider your options.
