Not really sure what quoting my post does in relation to engines failing. I was merely relaying a joke of what guys at a particular foreign operator call the Airbus. Glad to see you have a sense of humor concerning such things

Guess those guys just can't compete with some of the nicknames it has in the states, like "scud", etc.

Have they ALWAYS been "pretty good"? Also, have you ever owned a VW product that was made in the 80's? Yep, they've (VW) made leaps in the quality department since then, but building quality automobiles wasn't always their strong suit. Especially in the 80's when they captured so much market share in Europe, then quality suffered.
