I would be interested to see the actual numbers. My sample size is pretty big (not saying yours isn’t) due to where I am based and the flying that I tend to do. I have had awful experiences with them lately. I will say, our mx is second to none and I am constantly impressed by our MEL carry rate, which has to be some of the lowest in the industry. Those planes are just trying me with constant issues.
