   we switched to only 2 because the chances of both failing was supposed to be astronomically small

     @sickburnbro >inb4 the cause is DEI mechanics, DEI air traffic controllers, DEI manufacturers, and/or Chineseum resources.

     @SuperSnekFriend remember that part supplier in the UK that was passing off poorly remanufactured airplane parts?

     @sickburnbro I'm sure this will be water cooler talk tomorrow but I fully expect that we'll see some interesting shit in the parts chain on this one

     ICR if I mentioned it on poast but there was a venezuelan that started a biz selling aircraft parts, faked paperwork pretending the stuff was new and built to spec when it was chinese shit or scavenged from junk birds around the globe. FInally got caught out by eagle eyed boomers seeing very worn out "new" landing gear on a piper matrix or something.

     His company pumped out a good number of parts throughout the ecosystem, and to my knowledge we've never been briefed on what exactly we need to look for. Threadbare scrimp n' save operators can find all sorts of ways to save money, and I'm guessing this guy's failure - if it wasn't simple fuel starvation since I'd guess someone would have told me about it by now, but it's the most likely if it hasn't been ruled out - was caused by some very sub-par maintenance somewhere in his system

     @sickburnbro Okay I can't find the email and I'm bad at navigating the FAA's dogshit site but I think they sent out a notification that was somewhat thorough in describing the situation, the company name was AOG Technics

     Maybe it was EASA or the brits?It's pretty embarrassing, the guy was a DJ in shitholia before he got some crypto money and just bought in. Thank those awesome "give business to brown entrepreneurs" laws, I bet. https://drs.faa.gov/browse/excelExternalWindow/DRSDOCID135893139620231219205538.0001?modalOpened=true

     @Wolffkran @WashedOutGundamPilot the systematic approach says "probably a combination of all"
     
     You could have engine 1 fail due to fake parts, and engine 2 due to lazy DEI mechanics.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @sickburnbro There are a lot of nigger mechanics in the airport I work at so I can imagine this being the case. They're VERY lazy too.
