With four EA powered frames ( 193 & 197 for Qatar and 196 & 212 for Transaero) being recently delayed / canx there really should be spare engines around and not a shortage

But MSN193 an MSN208 we see finishing FAL with, as it seems, no engine available. Will interesting to see the next frame coming out of the second FAL stage MSN209 or 199.

Don't count the Skymark one as they were going to be RR powered.

But, to split a hair, I actually discounted her.

Damn these split ends, eh stealthmanbob I only counted MNS193 and 208 to be effected by a possible EA engine shortage, as the others mentioned would not have entered the process now or ever. We will see if the EA engine shortage persist when MSN209 or 199 leaves the FAL stage.

MNS 193 is a different story. Unlike MSN 208, MSN 193 is now mothballed for long-term storage. And the absence of MSN 199 on convoy tells me something else is going on at QR.
