I am not worried. The analysts have identified only SIX engines (Three Airplanes?) with these likely high-time engines. Five have already been inspected and number six should be completed this week, if Mr. Gates's information is correct. If I could identify the engine(s) on the next B777 that I ride, B777, would I be concerned if they turned our to be GE-90s? No.
Frankly, I'd be more interested in the carrier's Mx record, the engine's cycle count and each engine's accumulated hours to date. I cannot - do not believe that this is a systemic problem limited to to the GE-90 blow torch, as used on some early B777 airplanes. Let' avoid 'panic,' at least until some genuine cause is found. Six engines?
Data Guy may - or may not - have some excellent reference points; Still a bit too soon to know. At least for now, when the FAA speaks or issues a formal AD, we must comply. For a far better understanding, I'll await the NTSB's Final Report.
