I’m right there with you. It’s not a “in a rush” thing by any means, It’s just obnoxiously long is all I was saying.

It is but honestly my GAS meter registers below “E” anymore.

Nothing wrong with the operators that have the CFM’s.

Yeah, I think despite growing pains with new engine technology. (Nothing new there) The key difference with the MAX issue is that it is not an engine issue, but a defect in the engine cowl design. That would be one boeing, not CFM.

AUTO engine anti-ice....only been a thing since what.....767 in the early '80's......

And he asked what was wrong with the NEOs not what engine each was operating.

Absolutely, I flew a 175 with ice detectors. The book said let them work how they work. If ice is detected, engine and wing anti ice came on automatically. 2 or 5 minutes ( depending on software) after ice was no longer detected anti ice would turn off. It was acceptable to fly through clouds in auto, with no anti ice engaged if the ice detectors were not deferred, and ice was not visually observed by the crew.

We use engine anti ice on a 737 much more frequently and for a longer duration than on an E Jet. I would say even though it meets the definition of icing conditions, more of the time than not there is no ice formation. However, it is a different airplane so if we gotta use it like that, at least design it so it won't blow up after 5 minutes of use in dry conditions.

The fix is coming, 2024. AD was issued yesterday I think.

I guess they are working on it.

haha auto anti ice. That’s rich, we can’t even have the standard sunshades.
Agree though, flew the eject for 5 years and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss that plane.
