doubt if it helps that the US legacy airlines are trying to take Emirates to the World Trade over supposed subsidies.

isn't the basic problem one of design in the beginning, they only had to contrive this software to fix the issue that the engines were heavier than previous models and would change the COG. So shouldn't they have done a redesign of the whole plane or done a new model, but then competitive pressures from Airbus precluded that, so corporate greed???

i am somewhat disgusted with both AA and Southwest who continued to fly these planes until they were grounded by executive order. American even made passengers who wanted to change plane types to pay the change fees. Do they have that little concern for their customers? I would have thought that the liability risk if something had happened to another plane could have bankrupted the company.

from a news reportThe engine maker is designing a new intermediate pressure compressor (IPC) blade for Trent 1000 engines in the Package C configuration. The IPC blades came under scrutiny some 15 months ago after an engine failure on board a Scoot 787-9. Singapore's Transport Safety investigation Bureau found that two other shutdowns on Scoot 787-9s were linked to IPC failures probably caused by material fatigue. Rolls-Royce has also, since 2016, been replacing the blades in the intermediate pressure turbine (IPT) module of the Trent 1000 after All Nippon Airways reported a series of engine failures. The engine maker traced the cause of that problem back to sulphidation corrosion cracking from a RR engineer friend of mine; RR trying to make the Trent 1000 more efficient and handle the additional power (electric) of the Boeing 787- Dreamliner changed their traditional engine design so the IP would be providing more power.sulphidation corrosion Probably from too much salty air

strategically it made no sense for Boeing to pursue this as they have a high risk of totally annoying both the governments of the UK and Canada who are potential customers for many military planes. Lockheed must be smiling.

both 28R and 28L have ILS approaches but they have different frequencies, if they inadvertently entered the wrong frequency for their approach then the computer would take them down the wrong pathway.
