Safety is key in this industry. So if we fail to maintain or replace and issues emerge then we should be ready to face the consequences.
SWA rejected an inspection directive but nobody says a word about the liability and responsibility of CFM as the engine maker. If thIS is an undectable defect they should have redesigned the damn fan and the airlines should be replacing them already. What are they waiting for, a catastrophy taking the lives of 100-180 passengers. The Good Lord forbids but should that happen SWA, CFM and who knows what else would be facing BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LAWSUITS.
