Engine rental or "Power by the Hour" models are common in large engine deals. Airlines like it because they tie costs more closely to revenue production.
Engine companies like it because it ties maintenance revenue to run time.

No? How can you "rent" a engine. Your odd!
-
Whats the bet that they find the cause is engine ice. On the N2 inlet it is common for ice to form; apparently they did not use anti ice on approach with the lower power setting, and did not use the throttles until on short final. On descent from FL350, icing conditions require anti ice to be switched on, the FMC doesn't show an alert message either.

It would not have ran out of fuel, I heared a report that in the far east a brush was left in the fuel tank, and another posibility was contaminated fuel or Computer failure
-
Why did we only see a small report on bbc news 24 (ticker tape) of both engines showing no failure.
No further coverge in at least 6 national newspapers.....mmmmmmm

It's interesting how this crash and the investigation have been kept so quiet by news services and British Airways. It is obvious to most people that the engine failure was caused by fuel starvation i.e. the airplane ran out of fuel. Cause: poor pre-flight planning or pilot error. This is the most likely reason for B.A. being so hush-hush about this event.

It is hard to keep something like this quiet, especially when it happens in one of the world's largest media markets. I believe that British Airways is reacting in an appropriate manner. The investigation is still ongoing, and when the AAIB issues a final report, then I would expect BA to comment publicly, and I also expect the media to take a renewed interest. By the way, I believe that the media is quiet because there isn't anything really exciting to report just yet. - Dr. Todd Curtis
