I suspect that if your location (Seattle) is accurate, you may very well be an RR employee, on assignment at Boeing, probably in support of the Trent 1000 on the Boeing 787. A clue is your use of the word "rubbish". In the States, we seldom use this word, but the word "refuge" or more commonly, "garbage".

With over 2500 posts, this thread is in reaction to a very, very near tragedy on the Qantas Airbus A-380 given the catastrophic failure of the Trent 972 engine. It is also a reaction to Rolls Royce's response to this event. The silence from Rolls Royce has been deafening.

Some of us have been in this aviation business for all our working careers in one role or another and because of the deafening silence from Rolls Royce, we speculate as to the cause/causes of this Trent 972 failure, whether or not there were specific indications that such a failure would eventually transpire, and whether or not corrective actions have actually taken place that don't require repeated inspections at short intervals among other things.

So, this thread is what it is, like it or not from your perspective. You can contribute but perhaps that may not be in your best interest, so the "silence is deafening" route may be your best alternative.
