Max tow, eureka pete is probably talking in context.
Your point is of course correct, however there is indeed a vast difference between a crapper and a disintegrating engine blowing holes in your wing.I know you know this but just to make the point for many out of industry readers.
The point being of course did QF / RR know of a serious issue and did they fail to act quickly enough to a problem?
If so, were there signs of oil leaks already and not considered a problem at the time?
Was any mod or special inspection deferred?
I cast no blame or infer any wrong doing just wanting the facts.
Can anyone confirm that RR are indeed picking the QF losses?
I though I heard QF were not chasing RR.I find that odd if so.
It is looking that AJ's "days not weeks" statement was poorly advised.
Like line repairs, think of a sensible time frame and at least double it to have some Murphy's Law insurance.
