lomapaseo, your concerns are indeed valid but the regulators/manufacturers will never be able to foresee every scenario at the planning phase. It will work 99.9999% of the time. On a positive note, the safety net in place in this case has worked to perfection.

The data collected will no doubt further improve the system.

Nonetheless, I think the guys at GE should at least revisit the wording on their website

GE was able to bring together the newest technology to provide the market with an engine with the lowest weight, lowest fuel burn, proven stall free operation, and by far most reliable to enable operators to maximize the potential of the A330
