How the hell is this AI slop getting upvoted? The early 777s are being retired because they're old. Engine failures are a thing that happens on all planes. You aren't going to retire planes because of one unless it reveals a greater issue, which this incident did not.

On the flipside, what they are looking at replacing the fleet with is an interesting follow-up if you regularly fly United.
