Well shucks I dunno chief, what do you think?
those engines won’t be hitting full production until like the early 2030’s. we can only assume the only jets flying them will be whatever spooky triangles fly out of Nevada every now and then

Routinely crashing due to terrible maintenance/lack of money/lack of standards?
