Pratt and Whitney announced that 650+ airplanes equipped with their GTF engine (Some A320 family NEO) would have to be grounded for 6-9 months(!) to address quality control issues. That's a global fleet the size of Ryan Air that will be parked for the better part of the year.

This, in part, may explain why Spirit revised their revenue forecasts so dramatically for Q3. Not sure if Frontier has any GTF engines on theirs. ALL of Hawaiian's A321 NEOs have the GTF engine.

So it's not a Max problem for a change. Phew!
