MODS, if any of you may read this post, I am surprised at your choice to move this thread into Airlines, Airports, Routes as the topic is none of the aforementioned.
RR decision to suspend work on the Trent900 may ultimately mean nothing, however by the same token it may well be seen as a watershed event in the A380 (and ultimately Airbus) business. I would have thought that this thread could have attracted some interesting and informed comment, were it given the chance in the appropriate forum.
Way to go guys.
