I've spent the better part of 2 hours looking for any proof and what I have found is that you are wrong. Unless you can generate something other than "an instructor told us so" I can't put any stock in your claims. BTW, you actually think that ground instructors know everything? Not only is there nothing on line stating anything greater than the 14500 lbs of thrust on the NG's but GE has nothing out there as well about NG CF34's producing 19K+.

It’s just doesn’t make any sense and it’s not backed up anywhere. I still think you heard wrong or they heard wrong. Without proof (that I or anyone else can find) it seems to not be so.

Although, oddly enough, your 19,450 lbs of thrust matched up perfectly with the CR9’s 19,450 lbs of fuel.

Good day and we just want facts, not "he said she said" hear say.
