Surprised that nobody mentioned Sunday's Rouge 1940 flight YVR-DUB that was abbreviated due to an uncontained engine failure upon takeoff. The number 2 engine shed some blades, pieces of which lodged in the right wing, fuselage and horizontal stabilizer, and were also found on the runway.

True - there is an interface directly into the FLIFO in RES III. Just wait until the Amadeus conversion - - then it will be gone!!!
I think there is a filter however - where sometimes a flight is blocked for external query (but still accessible to internal). The only internal flight I ever saw blocked - back in the old days of having some access directly - where even on internal you could not find the info - was for the C-FSKI incident.

None. The shrapnel didn't appear to pierce any fuel tanks, nor sever any hydraulic lines etc. It likely means an engine swap and some sheet metal work, perhaps with some underlying structural repair. The plane remains in the main AC hangar as of Tuesday evening.

Either way, if repairs takes more than a few days its going to really stress the already read-lined Rouge fleet. Here is hoping some Rouge flyers get upgagued to a ML aircraft. (not that there are many ML 763's remaining).

I overheard "three days" as an informal guess within a conversation between mechanics. That would put a return to service on Thursday, and if the fleet is as stretched as you imply, I'm sure there's incentive to get it out of the barn. Perhaps someone can monitor the flight tracking apps to see when it reappears.
