Over 2000 hours- no rollbacks.

I think the cause for the rollbacks is still a mystery, but sourcing the engine intake mats from Cox instead of Lucas Aerospace seems to have had a positive effect. As far as I know, all of Eagle's Saabs have Cox mats now, and I haven't heard of a rollback in a long time.

Well ya got ME. I am not sure I have ever HEARD of a "rollback". Fatespawn's post just left me scratching my head.

Maybe we just have the "new improved" mats? That's all I can guess.

Every rollback I've ever had (5) in roughly 3500 hours in the thing has come at about -1c and light rain. Never had one in the snow yet......

WOOHOO! Thanks! Looks like I may spend a month or so in LGA, but I'm already holding ORD, soon as the next flow plan comes out I'll know when. Then....back to LAX, if we get a few more airplanes here. Looks like a couple of the old-timers are retiring in LAX this month, too.
