To be fair, that's an engine problem and they aren't made by Boeing.

- 1over137 2y agoKnowing Boeing, they probably installed them wrong, broke them, left a tool inside, etc.
- throwup238 2y agoThese days engines are usually leased separately from their planes and the leasing company provides maintenance, repair, and overhaul with their own MRO provider or a third party of their choice. Boeing wouldn't be involved.
- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoThe scarier trend is airlines shopping around for the cheapest MRO in South America.
- stephen_g 2y agoThat's not really a funny or helpful comment generally, but especially not since the plane in question (C-FIUV) is over 16 years old...
- tedunangst 2y agoKinda weird that it took 30 years for someone to notice the engine was backwards, no?
- OutOfHere 2y agoBoeing contracts them, so Boeing is ultimately responsible, of course.
- duskwuff 2y agoI don't think that's true. As I understand it, jet engines are manufactured, sold, and maintained separately from the airframe. They're interchangeable components, and often get swapped out when they need maintenance.
