As an aside, Boeing is getting all the press lately but these GTFs haven't exactly been trouble free workhorses either. Still some kinks to iron out it would seem.

According to the articles I read, it sounds like it wasn't any regulatory body that forced the grounding but rather Swiss (the airline) that took a pro-active step themselves. I say good on em. Looks like most of the 220s that were grounded were back flying in less than a day following some sort of inspection. Hopefully some lessons can be learned.

Just ask any government employee.
(Or any commercial airline pilot, now that I think about it)
