Only fly Pratt & Whitney if you want to get to your destination every time.

>> “the amount of failures is unprecedented.”

Actually, no. This is what airline pilots have come to expect of RR engines. Alternative? As they used to say in the old R-2800 days: “More miles per hour with Pratt & Whitney power”.
GE is OK, also.

Flight engineer to his pilots after two of the TF-33 engines on their aircraft ate several seagulls...

See I told ya' captain, were flying tommrow and there ain't gonna be no engine changes. Those engines were designed by Americans in the 1960s. That means they use a lot of gas, make a lot of noise and are defiantly way over built."
