secondly, if you’re on the 787, GE has taken pretty much every RR customer that has placed new orders in the last 5 years and I’m afraid it looks like BA is next
If customers are so unhappy with the Trent 1000 as you state, is it not rather odd that airlines such as KE are still ordering the A35K? Either way, I have no bias as to which manufacture airlines purchase from, unlike some, so as long as it's safe to fly then I'm happy.
