Sounds perfect

It sounds so good but it is such a pain to operate. Takes forever to start them, hot and high you have trouble with the autostart and the performance, the complicated reversers are deactivated quite frequently, maintanance has to crawl in.
And last not least: It climbs like a snail above FL 250!
Compare it to the CF6, that's a pilots engine, I can easily live with the imperfect 2 spools on this one.
