Thumbs down

The last Engine that flamed out twice before this KEF-JFK incident was a brand new engine that had just came from RR, no fatigue related stuff, severe damage or faulty componets.
Although the fleet is 12 years old itīs still much younger than some fleets in the USA ans even if the aircrafts are old the engines are not.
The aircrafts that had engines running on iddle or flamed out on the globespan projet were 6-7 years old ex Iberia ACFT at the time and all engines had been overhauled by Iberia mantainance, shame on us to trust them and not checking what kind of mantainance procedures they were using, according to RR their overhauling procedures werenīt 100% approuved by them.
