FAA orders changes to regional jet engines: report

[MoneyGuy]

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Federal Aviation Administration is calling for changes to make jet engines easier to restart, particularly if they stop working at high altitude, The Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition Friday. The move is focused on certain General Electric Co. engines following the crash of a Bombardier regional jet because the pilots couldn't restart either of its jet engines, the newspaper reported. The changes are expected to be made during scheduled maintenance overhauls in the next two or three years, so they won't result in any additional costs on the industry, according to the Journal.

Well,Being able to restart jet engines at altitude would be very comforting.
