SQP1,

Unless you get all the facts correct you are only making yourself look as ill informed as you obviously are. In addition to the 2 failures already mentioned I abandoned at take-off at GOT 2 years ago for a surge caused by the 3rd & 4th stage compressors breaking up....thats 3 shutdowns/failures in 6 years....by any modern companies standards thats a very high level of shutdowns. In my previous job we had 1 shutdown in 10 years, and we had double the number of engines

As for maintenance, the last engine that came out of maintenance suffered FOD damage during its engine run......the overhaul took 9 months. All spare engines have been used up & now they are robbing engines off serviceable aircraft when they go into the hangar for scheduled maintenance.

You are entitled to your opinion the same as we all are, however if you must bring fact into this discussion then try to make sure you get your facts correct first........you are becoming a laughing stock to all of us!
