"Which is why I always try and make my air travel on single engine airplanes. With two, you are twice as likely to lose an engine. "LOL! Well done.

Yes, but how are their seat cleaning people? Best in the industry, IIRC.
Oh, pardon me. I'm a little slow catching on there.
All departing passengers were issued complimentary "Depends" and a little Pine Tree air freshener to hang on a belt loop.

If it ain’t Boeing, I’m not going!

A 777 lost power to both engines while landing in London a few years ago.

I’ll take an engine power loss during landing over one at 39,000 feet any day of the week!

“If we lose one more engine, we’ll be up here all day."Glad you posted this, it was my first thought when reading the article.

I feel safe in saying that 100% of pilots would rather have the engine failure at the higher altitude.

I suppose this is why the airlines never poll passengers on when they would prefer to have both engines lose power. I can see how having a plane that can’t stop could be problematic in a landing situation.
I’ll still go with Boeing. The French make great pastries but I just don’t trust them to build solid airliners.
To: Junk Silver
If I still flew it would only on a US made Plane.
