I think if the aircraft had being a 737-200, I don't think the pratt-whitney would have taken that strain like our 757 BYAW did?
Why not, are the 737s with PWs certified to a lower standard than everything else?
What does it have to do with the type of airframe or the rego, was BYAW a lucky machine?
Why are engines not fitted with engine grills?
A bit silly. But they should definitely look into fitting a big triangular thing on the front of the engines like the old steam engines had for pushing cows out of the way in front of them. A big steel thing. That way the bird wouldn't be hurt.
Or fly slower during the take off so the birds hear it coming. This should be standard.
I'd have been puckering up the seat cushion if it were me up there, flying around wondering if we'd hoovered up a few more chooks into the good donk too...
