isn't the issue actually that a brand new engine has already had a number of failures and an AD issued. Therefore any reference to statistics is irrelevant and serves no purpose.

It is unfortunate that this was a Qantas aircraft but if and I say IF there is an underlying design fault then it needs to be sorted pretty quick.

The fact that some sections of the press have gone over the top does not take anything away from the separate and non related issue of outsourcing. You don't help yourselves by attempting to ridicule a situation when the facts are clear to be seen.
