apparently things are moving, an engine having been found at Engine Alliance. Nobody else had any as a spare, mainly due to the fact that in a normal engine damage situation said engine would still be hanging off the wing and the plane could be ferried to main base. Then only the damaged parts would be changed. The problem here is they needed a complete engine (with pylon and all) plus the Antonov to bring it (Antonov has a three or four week waiting list I have heard).
hope they get it out of Goose before the heavy weather starts...
