So, following P&W's guidance, customers have accepted operational restrictions, just to learn now that they were unnecessary ... I don't know what they think of that !

If I had ordered P&W engines for my A320neos then I would be pressing very hard for a penalty-free change to LEAP with some compensation thrown in. What a mess.

Well be reasonable.... P&W is not a newcomer - they are around JET engines since the invention of the thing  They did come with a revolutionary design and well it is not yet trouble free but I DO BELIEVE that eventually will be. Concerning consumption the engine is performing better than promised and better than LEAP  So I am optimistic here and do believe all the teething problems will go away - it might take a few month - maybe a year but will be off ! Up to that they still can come with significant improvement i.e. the core sort of like the LEAP has and another few percent is on the horizon. |

it seems the only Carrier not having issue is Lufthansa. it does seem like the airlines that will benefit from a trouble free GTF are the ones that take delivery in 2019.. that kinda sucks. QR must be feeling pretty satisfied with the order cancellation...what a monumental headache for P&W and the Asian carriers...

If you were a P&W customer, you would do what all other customers do : stick to your choice, and negociate adequate compensation. Not a single P&W customer has cancelled its order ! Even QR has been talking of cancelling, yet so far not acting accordingly. What is more, most customers which had not selected an engine keep sitting on the fence ... |

Up to that there are no LEAP engines available maybe first free ones after 2021 or so. As a matter of fact there are even no P&W engines readily available, so..... |
