They like 2 cut cost by using recon spark plug... of course cnot start lah... chey...

No lah, they are building up a reserve for a rainy day. So only use 1 engine the other 3 engine T loan to United Airlines to generate more returns for rainy day fund.

Unfortunately United declared bankrupt.

Fellow cohorts, don't comprain, just tighten belts and make do with world class A380 - looks beautiful but only 1 engine.
