WHBM

Six A320's in the last 2.5 years. Four vs six isn't a huge difference. Yes, it's 50%. No, it's not that significant as to avoid one airplane vs. another.

It is related to aircraft/engine type. I’ve seen it in the MD-80, 727, 737-800, 757, 767, 777, A300, A320, A330.

I’m starting to think it’s not the engines fault.
