Remind me what company is responsible for making the 777-200 engines (hint: it’s not Boeing)

Engine problems are hardly the only Boeing issue in recent years. Nor am I inclined to give them a pass on those; they are most certainly heavily involved in the engine design and production process, as they are on most outsourced parts they use.

How does Boeing being involved in engine design involve an aging airframe on a major Carrier?

"The federal government should take this company into receivership" is clearly speaking to more than one single incident.
