If we're talking rollbacks , there was a software issue that meant an extended period of TOGA takeoffs on the GE powered ER/LR until the problem was fixed
Quite right.....but how quickly people forget!!

And to a previous poster:

Why would Emirates be unhappy with the Trent? Until the arrival of the A380/new 777s and the departure of the classic 'busses, it was the powerplant across the fleet.

Rumour has it the GP7200 isn't what it was promised to be. Should have gone for the Trent 900......but that's another story!
