Now apparently they are suffering unexplained inflight shutdowns on the 737’s after they were left idle for several months

Due to an engine control bleed valve sticking open due internal corrosion. OK for take off and cruise, but a top of drop, when the engine goes to idle the valve stays open and the engine fails.
