There have been 3 Saab engine failures the last two days. Two on Thursday and one yesterday. Looks like they were all compressor stalls from the extreme cold weather....

Must be the reason for the latest memo about ECS on takeoff's

That'd be my guess....... Saving the engines procedures sometimes are actually detrimental to keeping the engines running depending on the weather....... Course I am surprised that this is the first time the weather has been this cold in the last what 14 years.... but then again it's probably the same engine cores so........

You guys from the midwest are funny, you all complained about how freakishly cold it was last year! Maybe it's always this cold, every year.

Three in two days? I smell an AD coming.

According to recent memos it sounds like they may have been compressor stalls but the crews may have thought they were engine failures and shut the engine down.
