Often wondered what it would take for CASA to take action. What needs to happen? A double engine failure half way to JNB or LAX?
No to mention the dangerous precedent they are setting. Is it acceptable to have a airline flying around with a known defect in engines and for them to have 10(?) engine failures?
Has the root cause being determined on each failure? Obviously each engine failure is investigated individualy, so what are some of the reports saying? Any systemic issues, or is each failure attributed to a different causal factor? 10 in 14 months is by far not a good look for starters, perhaps this issue alone will make it on to the ATSB table, or is it not deemed significant enough for them to investigate? After all, they only investigate 2% of all reports.
