Forget
Profound question yes. I think the better question would be which airplane would I be happy to see my loved ones board. Or indeed any form of transport where I personally have no control over the machinery.
If that journey had to made I would chose which operator, which airline I would trust. There are very few operators which I would avoid. Now you will be asking why the f
does he just not answer the question!
Would I trust the RR T900 as it stands as of now in use with the operators who use it. Yes I would. Would I trust the CF6-45/50 with the operators who use it as of today. No I would not.
As for the T972 in use with Qantas, given the fact that it is replaced..we hope..every 70 cycles and the fact that there are four units on each A388. Yes I would.
What aircraft would I use if I had a free choice for the places my family is most likely to visit? That would be the BAe 146.
