. 15-40 for us!I just flew from SFO to Vegas and lived to see another day. I’d bet you will do the same unless you take Rice Road. :looking:

You're a conspiracy theorist. Turbofan engines can't be made to disintegrate on cue.
entirely possible. Something in my travels i dont have to worry about.Or it could be caused by FOD. That would be my guess...
Yup, it all depends on what the media wants to jump on or not. Apparently Boeing pissed someone off.Believe it or not that happens a lot. I’ve had them on Rose Royce, GE, CFM and Pratt & Whitney.
Still a better outcome than the last incident of compressor fan failure in an engine in flight in the US (in 2018) which resulted in a fatality:
Broken engine blade at center of investigation into fatal Southwest Airlines accident
Federal investigators are probing the role a broken engine fan blade played in the catastrophic event aboard the Southwest Airlines Flight 1380www.dallasnews.com
This was a CFM engine on this Southwest flight.
For both incidents, it all comes down to not scoping the fan blades on a regular basis to detect those microscopic cracks that form. Maintenance fail.
For the nerds in here, this is a great technical explanation by Ars of the same Southwest incident:
How a cracked fan blade (probably) ended a decade of no US air travel fatalities
First US commercial air fatality in 9 years caused by debris from jet engine fan, engine cover.arstechnica.com
Explains all the details of an engine failure.
I'll add this to the above comment: If you work for any Boeing supplier and falsify any document you'll not only get yourself in a ringer but may also include jail time. You'll also damage the reputation of the company you work, put deliveries on hold and most importantly you'll be putting innocent lives at risk. Remember every component on these aircraft (Boeing or Gulfstream etc.) will have a ton traceability records for every step of every process for every part...
What’s up with their stock today?
