Mathew alleges Southwest failed to properly inspect the CFM56-7B engines for defects or flaws. Southwest and the other defendants were aware of a “dangerous condition” with the engines because of an in-flight engine failure on another Southwest Boeing 737 in August 2016.

Engines fail in flight all the time. They rarely make the news unless something major happens.

The CFM has a failure rate of 1 for every 333,333 hours (38.03 years), and the record time on wing before the first shop visit is around 50,000 hours.

This lawsuit is nothing more than greedy people trying to ride a gravy train who’s using data from 40 years ago when the CFM’s were first fielded.
