Re: Qantas Frequent Flyer | How much is it worth?
Interestingly, that was the situation in the period after the start of commercial aviation. Engines were very unreliable, and modern performance requirements hadn't been written, so aircraft couldn't maintain altitude after an engine failed. Therefore, statistically, you were better of with fewer engines since the more you had the higher the chance of one failing. One failure and down you went!
