    Weird, if you talk to boeing supporters who don't think boeings having problems all the time isn't really boeing having problems and they don't have choices in the engines they put on their planes and it's not their fault the engines blow up all the time. 🤦‍♂️🤣

    I regard the B727 as the most beautiful aeroplane ever designed and built. As a teenager, I saw the 727 more like a rocket ship than an aeroplane. I was only able to fly on one twice - on Ansett-ANA's VH-RME from Mt Isa to Brisbane and from Brisbane to Sydney. It was under the command of veteran pilot Captain Arthur Lovell in 1968. A very memorable occasion that I will never forget.

    Between 1973 and 1988 I flew several times on the 727 with American, Braniff, Continental and United. I was 10 the first time in 1973. The thing I liked about it was they were fairly quiet with the the engines in the tail and they were also quite comfortable bit some of that, I think, was the seats were bigger back then and the configuration also had good leg room as well.

    Aircraft should always have the optio of two engines. Look at the mess with the PW GTF and imagine if that was the sole engine available on the A320. Egyptair have or are selling their entire fleer of the Air us A220 due to reliability issues with the engine.

    Bahamasair had two 727-200 series in the late 1980s. They were eventually phased out in my country in favor of the 737 and the Dash 8-200. I flew on a 727-200 with my dad in the late 1990s with a loaner aircraft working for Bahamasair. It was a rugged and solid built aircraft.

    @@John-nc4bl But by then Airbus wont need them. RR has an exclusive until 2030, and before then the XWB engine upgrades are due, and by the end of the decade the RR UltraFan will have diverted new technology to hopefully Neo the programme. Its only American carriers who need American engines, for home politics, the rest of the world celebrate free trade and are more than happy with their extra quiet and extra economical RR Trent XWBs. The A350 order books are already stretched, so Airbus doesn't have to rock the boat with RR, nor feel the need to spend millions of dollars to help GE to make the programme a success. Its already a great success, and unlike the B787, a money spinner since 2019. GE can whistle all they like, they rejected powering the A350-1000 in the first place, and now Airbus can just ignore them, politely of course....😀😀....

    Airlines are getting fed up with with poor quality in the industry and are making their voices heard with their money. In this case many are flocking to the reliable GE option. Likewise many airlines are flocking to the CFM (GE) option for the a320 over Pratt& Whitney’s problematic GTF engines. On a larger scale, more airlines are choosing the a320 family over the 737 Max due to the constant issues with the latter. Rolls Royce is lucky they have are the exclusive engine for the a350 or they would be in real trouble. Also Boeing and Pratt& Whitney are lucky that Airbus and CFM can’t produce more of their respective products fast enough.

    The A350 is the success it is, because of the combination of airframe and engines, so why would customers wish to invest in the potential powdered metal problems with the GENX, which the FAA fear will soon affect Boeing aircraft......

    I was aware that the type operated with both engines because of being a regular viewer of Simple Flying and Long Haul. You can kind of pick up on these things even if the information isn't always a direct feature of the content. I suspect BA chose Rolls Royce because it's a British brand.

    The -727 was the result of airlines needing to meet the flight rules at the time. You could not operate over water or some mountainous areas unless you were within an hour of a suitable field. The tri-jets fixed that problem with one fewer engine. Current rules allow 2hours due to incredibly improved engine quality. Rules are called ETOPS for Extended Twin Operations, IIRC, but many pilots of my time called it ‘Engines Turn Or Passengers Swim’ but NEVER where we could be over heard. Not similar reasons for L1011 and DC-10/11. Jumbo jets but one less engine than a -747.

    In answer to your 2nd question. No, far from it. We ( Air NZ, I’m a kiwi ) have 14 787’s. All RR powered as we don’t have the -10’s yet. 3 are grounded as RR cannot supply either parts or replacement engines. So sadly no, nowhere near fixed.
