The early GE90s on the 777-200s had teething problems but they are a bullet proof engine now.

Keep in mind that triple spool engines are more costly to overhaul due to their higher parts count and compressor blades are expensive.

The GE90-115B engine on the 773ER is one great engine and operators love it.
