And by what statistical standard are they to be judged against?
Let's look at jets for a minute. Out of several major brands, one of the has to have a higher failure rate than the others. It could well be Rolls Royce if you look at the recent QF years. They might well have had twice the failures in Australia in recent years compared to GE, P&W or CFM.
Now what?
I predict if what Kharon has said above is true, that it is game over, before the match is played. The RAAus will be smashed hard as a group of people. The value of aircraft will be decimated. And the OEM will shut up shop. This will break dozens of small business owners. Like drought to farmers there could well be suicides as a result.
CASA should have been careful what they wished for.
I hope I am completely wrong.
