Towerdog,
My information is that Ck does not overhaul Q motors. They are outsourced to another company.
Now perhaps, but 2 or 3 years ago I had numerous comprssor stalls on Q engines over hauled by Connie's boys.

It sure was a factor in Medein and perhaps in Bogota, not so in Brussels perhaps if indeed a bird ingestion was the primary cause of the failure.

agree, nor would it be significant unless directly in the causal chain
On the other hand the PIC was spooked from earlier engine problems or compressor stalls and decided to abort after V1..Wonder who overhauled those engines?
