I threw that in as a discussion point. The EWR issue demonstrated that current testing works as it means the engines can survive an extreme event, so why change the way in which it's done?

I have no doubt that GE can produce engine casings which meet all current testing criteria, so why are they publicly trying to change the conditions for the GEnx? Strikes me as being something of an own-goal.
