The lack of mention of Rolls-Royce here seems more than a little amiss, considering the engine flaw seems to be due to their error as far as I have heard.

- SkyMarshal 7y agoAlso it seems the airline chooses the engine type they want on their planes, not Boeing. It's a purchase option.
- cmurf 7y agoIt might be the purchase time option commits the airworthiness type certificate to a particular engine make/model (or range of them). Typically the airplane lease is separate from the engine lease, which helps the airline deal with the totally separate maintenance requirements between airframe and powerplant.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoYou don't know the cause. Could have been a bird ingestion on this or a previous flight.
- vinay427 7y agoI agree, but then there's no reason to only target Boeing as the OP did. Based on what we know that it's almost certainly metal from the engine, the one company that's most likely to be responsible is Rolls-Royce so if we had to prematurely pick one it wouldn't be Boeing.
