320Driver - I find your praise of Airbus and GE quite interesting in what might otherwise be cause for concern in the community. Since this problem is apparently (per the recent operator letter and 747 comments above) shared with other CF6-80 engines, perhaps Airbus could have released this recommendation to the A330 fleet earlier, instead of waiting for an event to happen? That event turned out to be a two-engine flameout on a two-engine airplane. If you eventually fly widebodies, would you be comfortable in assuming that these engines will always restart quickly after a flameout? Or would you prefer to prevent the flameouts from happending in the first place?
Also, do you have additional information to share about the event? The event was reported as two flameouts, not stalls. Even after this event, the engines may in fact operate free of stalls.
