Um, no. See accurate comment upthread from
Classtraveller. It's easy to tell by looking at them. Nearly all CX pax 744s have completely closed engine covers (remind me of hair dryers, not unlike the engines on 343s). These are RR engines, and are original CX aircraft. The ones from SQ have open covers for bypass, they look very different. These are P&W engines, IIRC. As far as CX being cheap, you have documented your personal hatred of CX numerous times in other threads. It's worth noting that the entirety of your CX lifetime experience is two flights within the past six months, ORD-HKG and HKG-ORD, as you have indicated in other threads here. In fact, most of CX's aircraft acquisitions have been and continue to be new aircraft.

True, it's not the only recent incident. However, it's not at all clear to me that this is the result of lax maintenance or any type of maintenance failure.
