There is no comparison between the 777 and the Airbus. The Airbus is superiorly designed and built. Surely. :E :E :ok:

It is irrelivant whether the flts were ETOPS sectors or not, if a component fails which will/can affect your ability to operate under ETOPS even on a non ETOPS flt will affect your status/ability to maintain ETOPS compliance.

Now that is funny.:ok:

EY lost the approval. The 77W ETOPS approval has been revoked until the remaining 77W aircraft in their fleet have been boroscoped. Two engines have been replaced so far on different aircraft. Only the 77W at EY lost the approval, the Airbus fleet is still flying ETOPS.
I have sent you two PMs over this. How did you came up with the idea of EK ? :ugh:

I did ask whether it was EY or EK way back and only got references to EK failures from others and nothing from you. I read your first PM which you confirmed it was EY, fair enough. You didn't expect me to reply to you did you? If it was the PW triplers at EY then I would think it is a systemic problem within EY more than the aircraft.

This is getting boring, I was only saying that a couple of engine failures are not necessarily grounds to lose ETOPS otherwise SQ, UA and others would have lost theirs long ago.

....and Spanners.....I realise that you are an engineer and you need to have the last say, it is not unusual, so whatever you want to say now go ahead I won't be reading it anyway so won't reply.:bored:

OK, still at least we've learned something about ETOPS:ok:

FYI...I have flown with lots of guys/gals that have flown all 3 types we have and it is unanimous that 77 is the best aircraft...i think it is also unanimous that they have the worst roster so far!

Interesting point...when we grounded the A330s for the step aside gearbox in 97 or 98? we had wet leased Garuda aircraft doing our Perth flights....interestingly, Garuda were using the same airframe and same engine that we just grounded....hmmm...why am I so cynical about ETOPS???

Don’t think CX grounded the aircraft. Me Thinks the CAD told CX to ground the aircraft. Then the “Little Pigmy” took credit. He is not that smart.

Must be a very lonesome place with one shut down and the other at Max Chat.

I am sure the 777 is a the best, but it is missing an engine on each wing.

Does Rolls make their parts in China or do the airlines get their parts from there.

I think the CAD are even less smart so where does that leave it Mr Bloggs:confused:

Malaysian Airlines 777 Engine Failure..metals falling out clearly seen on the picture.

It is a D duct failure similar to the ones we had.
