Pavel + 384 PP June 11, 2018 Britain’s Rolls-Royce said a costly compressor problem that had grounded Boeing planes had now been found in a different type of engine, compounding pressures on a group that is due to cut more than 4,000 jobs this week. Britain’s best known engineering company has been hit by a problem with a compressor in the Trent 1000 package C engine that is not lasting as long as expected, grounding planes, forcing inspections and angering airline clients. The group, which employs 50,000 people in 50 countries, is also expected to set out how it will make a return on the investment made in recent years and the expected drivers of cash flow beyond its medium-term horizon. Air New Zealand said earlier this month it would lease two Boeing 777s to cover for 787-9s that are affected by the Rolls engine issue. Airlines that use the package C engine tend to also take the package B engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rainman + 263 June 11, 2018 Hmm. Brexit gift. A tough price for complacency and ignorance for those workers who voted for Brexit and will now be sacked. A lesson learnt, hopefully there will be a second chance for them... Sad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jpZelabal + 63 jj June 11, 2018 Look as a freedom of movement might make it easier for British workers to follow their employers (and their jobs) into EU 27. Big comeback in EU.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
