The reportage on this once again illustrates that the dumbing down of America is progressing nicely.

Looks like Spirit did a heck of a job 'containing' this.

Spirit apparently doing fleet-wide engine inspections

Several press outlets reporting system wide delays due to overnight engine inspections fleet wide. Maybe somebody knows something.

I would not doubt there is some what of an educated guess as to the cause of the failure even in the preliminary part of the investigation.

I think I would be more concerned if Spirit did not take a proactive approach.

The engine type has had some failures in the past that had been addressed we just do not know if this is a new problem or the previous directives did not completely resolve the previous problem.
