Highly knowledgeable people have commented on it and not said it was anything unusual, so, yes, I'd say it's reasonable. Jet engines don't change their output on a dime.

You know, there's not a single thing about your comment that's useful.

>Jet engines don't change their output on a dime.

Yeah, I know. That's the reason for the question.


What's not useful about that? Experts commenting on their field of expertise don't count for anything, or what?

This specific item has been addressed by people who know this stuff. They didn't indicate it was abnormal. How is that not useful?


>Highly knowledgeable people

Who? You're some guy on the Internet. I should take it on faith that you can tell who is knowledgeable and who is a blowhard?

> have commented on it and not said it was anything unusual, so, yes, I'd say it's reasonable.

Again, instead of providing a fact I have to trust the judgment of a person I do not know.

> Jet engines don't change their output on a dime.

It should have been obvious from my question that I know that much about turbines. Do you have any information specific to 777 engines or something comparable?

>Experts commenting on their field of expertise don't count for anything, or what?

They might. It depends who they are. I don't always believe everything I see on television or the Internet. Sometimes I like to know their reasoning.


Why the hell are you posting on an internet forum if you're not interested in what "some guy on the internet" has to say?
