"Engine shut down in flight" incidents are hardly rare. Aviation Herald currently lists eight other recent incidents, none of which involves a 787 or a Trent 1000 engine. You could make just as good a case for "woes" of 737s with CFM56 engines.
  • British Airways B772 at Kuwait on Jun 16th 2017, engine shut down in flight (GE90)
  • United B752 near Raleigh/Durham on Jun 15th 2017, engine shut down in flight (RB211)
  • Delta B744 over Pacific on Jun 7th 2017, engine shut down in flight (PW4056)
  • Philippines AirAsia A320 near Manila on Jun 15th 2017, engine shut down in flight (V2527)
  • Southwest B737 enroute on Jun 3rd 2017, engine shut down in flight, inlet cowl sliced (CFM56)
  • TAROM B737 at Brussels on Jun 13th 2017, engine shut down in flight (CFM56)
  • China Eastern A332 at Sydney on Jun 11th 2017, engine shut down in flight (Trent 772)
  • Southwest B737 at Chicago on Jun 12th 2017, engine shut down in flight (CFM56)
