I don't agree with that. Neither the Captain, nor his Management have the ability to say if any engine is likely to fail or not. If they had this ability they would have replaced number 1 engine before the first flight.

Flying almost 3 hours over Europe with 500 souls and an engine out is not a responsible decision. There were many airports suitable for a landing along the way. Why return to Paris?
I am not familiar with the performance of the A380. How well can it fly in N-2 situation with full pax and fuel?
So grab a beer for yourself. If you are not interested by this topic, nobody forces you to read it...

We are just discussing about an engine failure in a largest airliner flying today. I do find the subject very interesting and I am eager to read other professionals opinion about this failure and the crew performance.
Now you have managed to post 3 bull**** posts. N-2 situation?
"other professionals"???
I have no idea what if any kind of a professional you are, but you are obviously not a professional pilot. So now back to spotters corner...
