No end in sight to Pratt's new engine issues ?

[sn-remember]

It seems that Pratt's new engine destined to A320neo family (in part) and Cseries will continue to be unreliable for quite some time. Meanwhile it costs PW a lot of money and lots of unpleasantness to airbus and Bombardier. Qatar Airways already switched "allegiance" to Boeing and their CEO seems very much set against airbus corporation and making it kind of personal.
CEO Akbar Al Baker might further cancel some of the A32x order pending and even some of the 70 or so A350's which suffer from Zodiac delivery delays (among other possible issues ?).
His last comments stating that Boeing's products are better than Airbus's, beside being childish, seem tainted with hatred ? ..
Herewith, 2 interesting references for those wanting to dig deeper into this issue :

About the compressor bow, every jet engine as some.
But its a problem only on the Airbus aircraft, not on the Cseries or any other applications.
The difference between Airbus and the others is the way they attach the engine to the pylon.

But PW is late to deliver Airbus and Bombardier.

Thx for the info ...
On the side issue of the qr deal with Boeing ... it might very well be very political (as often is the case in those countries). Was just reading this analysis : http://www.defenseone.com/business/2016 ... rs/132249/
