Back on topic. That's not a topic where somebody should laugh. But TeeVee sometimes forgets his profession. Or what's he complaining about?
This topic is about... material fatigue. So. LH does no longer own one 737 (!), which in my eyes - and also after I've watched the photo here in the #9 again and again - is not such a perfect decision. Intercontinental airlines like LH or UA imho are big enough to operate
A320
and
B737.
Btw, not only "big enough" but also curious enough. Both sides of the medal are interesting, the A and the B. But that's only one opinion.
Thus, we have to ask United Airlines. Do they expect problems with CFM engines, in their A320s or in their B737s?
[I'd rather say no. UA is an experienced airline, they are in the air since 1931. And since then, they know how to operate maintenance crews.]
Afaik, CFM also delivers jet engines for the A320..
PS: What jetphotos is good for.. I've found a jetphoto where the difference between a 737 jet engine and a 747 jet engine is on one photo. Afaik, the 737 is parallel, but behind the 747. One 737 should at least be a little bit more than half a 747.. Here it is. And, size does not really matter, we all need healthy engines.

Another passenger window fails on Southwest flight
The outer pane cracked and with part of it reportedly missing. The inner panes held.
However...
Originally posted by CNNThere was no depressurization in the cabin, and therefore the oxygen masks were not deployed.

The passengers (the system) only have a short time of O2 available.
AND I think it would be safer to maybe do a NORMAL descent with ATC having plenty of time to manage traffic and to be gentle on remaining window, instead of the high performance 'dive' down into lower air traffic.
But if you pop the masks and passengers pull on the hose, a whole bunch of 02 generators are popped, heat is generated (anyone remember Critter airlines?), concentrated O2 is generated (ever see how fire responds to that in High School Chemistry?), and THEN the O2 runs out after 10 min...but what if you are still stepping down in crowded airspace, and THEN the window blows?
As much as I like to ask (and learn) why the crew did/didn't do this or that, it sure seems like you are usually going to infer that they somehow did it wrong.
If Navie/BBee/ATLIE care to enlighten our sad little Internet world, great. Gabby, may or may not also join in at some length.
I also maybe sorta think that cracked windows happen a little more often than we USED to hear about...yeah, sensitivity in the media is cranked up a notch.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.
