1Time 11 Engine Shutdowns in 2010
Can anyone in the know confirm if 1Time had 11 engine shutdowns in 2010.
Whilst this may sound a lot, how does it compare with other operators operating older equipment?

This is almost the same number (+/- 1) which Lufthansa communicates internally for engine failures of their A32s fleet last year. And this fleet consists of about 110 a/c!

Slightly off topic, now that the oil price has begun its inexorable climb upwards, at what point does the MD80 fleet become uneconomical to operate? I assume 1Time focus more on the variable cost inputs and less on fixed capital costs. Perhaps that A320 discussion might come to the fore again?
