Looks like it, what a nightmare for Swiss though.

One would think that it would be prudent of us to try to work in these inspections ASAP during normal mx down time so if the FAA does drop the hammer the whole fleet won't be down at once.

FAA? Hammer? They’re so understaffed they couldn’t even send someone to buy a hammer. At best they’ll let the engine manufacturer assure them that everything is all right.

The -88/90’s continue to lose 30+ engines per year. What’s the big deal? 😜

What about that droid that got stuck in that one engine they caught on video? What a way for that little guy to go.
