I would, but theirs are actually Trent motors and ours are GE. So, just the Airbus orders from Norwegian.

Now, the rumor that we will be taking the Etihad 787s, that I will support!!!

Mismatched engines never stopped anyone before, just look at the 756 fleet.

I won't shed too many tears for people working at NAI. BAA, AF-KLM, yes.

Yeah but those Trent motors on the 787 are sounding like more of a headache then RR or the airlines had planned on. Havent NAI and ANA had many 787’s grounded with bad engines?

I don't think they were grounded; just severely restricted for ETOPS.

Those engines impair the value of those 787s.

This has effected 12 airlines. https://www.godsavethepoints.com/201...r-rolls-royce/

Wow...This is huge! Finally the 787 design problems are working in our favor.

It sounds like NAI for awhile was wetleasing a 747-400 from Wamos and an A380 From Hifly this summer to cover for their 87’s which were down for or not delivered due to engine issues.

From my understanding they have since stopped doing that after a poor performing summer. No tears are shed from me if that is indeed accurate information that I have read.

If NAI went out of business tomorrow, it would be a good day.
