RJ111, the B744 and B767s GE/Pratt powered craft outsold RR powered ones by a huge margin. In fact BA now have more GE powered 777s than RR powered ones and that is likely to increase with more 773ERs coming into their fleet.

Cathay and Qantas fleet numbers are moving more towards GE power as well.

I bet Qantas and SIA and LH rue the day they ordered Trent engines on their A380s from the huge grounding costs that hit them. I bet Emirates and Air France were smiling every day since they could launch their A380s with EA engines.- no groundings
