Rolls will never see any profit from that Trent engine if the replacement costs are all on them.
they can sell a couple more thousand of these 787's , but not until the engines get fixed. It does say Rolls-Royce on the outside of the engine.If the pilots are not stressing out the engines, if all the flight testing and hundreds of thousand of hours of revenue operational flights showed everyone how to operate this aircraft, what argument has Rolls-Royce to use to evade all the costs?
