Keeping it very quiet, compliant press must have been told to back off.
Thinking the failure rate is finally reflecting on managements outsourcing policy blowing up in their faces forget to fact it's really on our wings.
In the past we pilots on the 747 were not overly concerned with the remote chance of an engine failure but now we are all like 'I hope only one fails'.
Interestingly if these unmoded engines had been on the 767 we would have probably lost our ETOPS (extended range whatever) approval by now, forget going to Honolulu etc.
At what stage will these managers be held to account?
