This is somehow news?
Do you have any idea how many flights have to shut down an engine on an almost daily basis?
It is more the regularity of tech issues and emergencies within one airline this year which, for the island folk in particular, are noteworthy. Also you may have missed it but it was reported in the press that BALPA wrote a strongly worded letter to management about their concerns from both a commercial perspective and also their concerns about the relationship between the many tech problems and flight safety. Subsequent to that there are then reported more emergencies adding credence to the concerns of BALPA and the crews in general.
And yes, somehow this is news.
