I'll help bealine out. There isn't any evidence that the CAA said any such thing. They were utter nonsense comments. As if a serious regulator would tell the airlines to employ a "new breed" of people.

Hear, hear!
Following the British Airtours Manchester Airport fire a good few years ago, the CAA demanded that airlines took on a new breed of cabin crew - those able to take charge, assert themselves and command. I can think of one or two ex-servicemen who now fly for BA that you would not get away with stopping on your way to the exits or you'd be "bounced"!

In training, when they say to people ‘Stand on top of the slide and jump’ it wasn’t like that at all. What happened was you ended up pulling the passengers and throwing them down the slide head first, or which ever to really get them out with any kind of speed. It wasn’t textbook but it worked for those people.

The Daily Beast has learned that the General Electric engine that failed was the subject of a safety warning from the Federal Aviation Administration four years ago.........

it's way too early to know whether this is relevant.

Actually when we flew back last week after this incident, we noticed both JFK and LHR club lounges were now displaying the password applicable from 1 October (per the paper stands), which already worked. As did the original September password, which was still shown on the app.

Maybe the xAAs did not ask for cabin crews to become bouncers, but they did ask Boeing and GE to conduct additional inspections / replace parts on this very engine.

Never sure what to make of it, but I have heard some rumours about the older GE series before.
This AD was prompted by cracks discovered on one HPCR 8-10 spool between the 9-10 stages in the weld joint. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the HPCR 8-10 stage spool, uncontained engine failure, and damage to the airplane.

Gearboxes took them out of service for a short while i believe. Although that would be on the outboard side on this aircraft??

The NTSB states debris found on the runway is pieces of the high pressure compressor spool. They also state the aircraft was powered by GE90-85B.
AD 2011-15-06 pertains to high pressure compressor spools in the following GE90 powerplants: -76B, -77B, -85B, -90B, and -94B. The AD is unrelated to early issues with ejected carbon blades and gearbox problems which were addressed early in the GE90 program.
