Given all the bad publicity and major money RR spent having the engines inspected. I feel it's an acceptable risk.

Wow, you're willing to risk flying on a plane equipped with RR Trent engines?   Got to admit the Thai A380 is the best looking livery so far.

To take with your wife.

Flew in a Qantas A380 the other day. Window seats have a lot of room to lean into. Was a really quiet plane. I liked it. Glad I didn't read about engines exploding before I flew.

Only one has exploded. RR has spent a lot of money inspecting all the engines that were in service at the time.

You did EXACTLY the same with the 787. What goes around comes around.

But the difference is I have no intention of flying the Nightmare liner, unless I have no alternative.

you would have thought they would introduce them on the London route and cut it down to one flight a day .

 

They can't afford to lose the landing slot(s) at LHR and it's a case of use them, or loose them.

I believe that Rolls Royce shares fell 2% today because an engine on a Dreamliner was found to have some contamination. I am sure that you can find out more if you so wish.

I think Thai would do better on the LHR route if their aircraft had Premium Economy class seating, Eva do very well and their tickets are now about £900 depending when you want to travel.

The problem was discovered to have been a faulty batch of parts supplied to RR by an American company.

It is Rolls Royce that found the problem during endurance testing of one of their engines......

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Federal officials are trying to determine why debris fell from the engine of a new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, starting a fire and forcing officials to shut down a South Carolina airport.

The Post and Courier of Charleston reports (http://bit.ly/NBRR0V) that debris from the aircraft fell onto the runway at Charleston International Airport and into the grass Saturday, sparking a blaze that closed the airport for more than an hour.

Boeing spokeswoman Candy Eslinger says the aircraft was undergoing preflight runway testing in North Charleston when the incident occurred. Eslinger says the 787 was the latest one built at the Boeing campus in North Charleston.

No one was injured in the incident, and Eslinger says production will not be affected.

The airport was closed for more than an hour. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.

 

This time the problem wasn't a RR engine, it was a GE one.
