Skymonster, I agree that the decision not to return to base was not to do with maintenance but crew decisions. However, 3 recent 747 engine failures is worrying no matter which way you lok at it. With regard to the decisions of the crew, there are two outstanding RYR reports to be published, however, it should be noted that RYR and BA operations are far different specifically regarding airport approach infrastructure. Without excusing any event, BA ops normally result in ILS approaches, something which is often not the case at RYR therefore the higher likelihood of incidents.
Regards
How many other airlines have suffered engine failures?, or are you saying BA are they only company to experience this problem’s cause that s what it sound like
Yet again the press like to sensationalize the ordinary ,last week on this forum , there was the thread BA 747 engine explosion@JFK , then when you read the true fact it suffered a engine Surge a problem that is caused not by the lack of maintenance and the Lax story , again a engine Surge
As for worrying , I would only be worrying if the aircraft had crashed
