Incident: British Airways B767 near London on Nov 9th 2015, engine shut down in flight

The FAA took a dim view because it was a non-American crew and airline. Just kidding. In reality, all authorities and airlines would rather the pilot err on the side of caution. The pilots could not be 100% certain as to the engine failure. LAX to LHR is a huge quantity of fuel on board to dump/burn off prior to return to LAX. That's a long haul with the potential for many delays, re-routings, I think he's very lucky to of made it to Manchester.

What's your source on the numbers 10 to 255 engine shutdowns per week and also, in what type of operations? Just curious.

chalet gotta be a troll. But I'll bite.
The macho 'No Big Deal' comment is juvenile. First of all, *any in-flight shutdown is, in fact, a big deal. No matter whether auto, manual, or fault, any shutdown is highly irregular.
Secondly, the statement, "10 to 255" is laughable. Why not just say "zero to infinity"? That's not a statistic, that's a WAG.
Yeah, chalet is a troll.

It's a big enough deal for your silly ass to take the time to comment.

Don't have the statistics for all types of aircraft over the entire world, but even your revised 10-25 per week seems high for "major commercial carriers" given this report from GE Aviation (http://www.geaviation.com/press/ge90/ge90_20120119.html):

As the Boeing 777 aircraft grew in size thus requiring higher thrust engines, customer demand for the GE90 soared. The GE90-115B engine, developed for the 777-300ER and 777-200LR, entered service in 2004 -- the best service entry for any large GE engine at that time. The engine has continued its stellar performance with an in-flight shutdown rate (IFSD) of 0.001, which means only one engine IFSD per one million engine flight-hours.

With the statistics on "more than 10 seats commercial flight hours" (http://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/aviation) being about 17,500,000 hours/year, if they were all as good as the GE90-115B engine, that would be 17.5 per YEAR, not week. So unless the average engine is circa 50 times worse, then this is a some what rare event. (since it was afterall, on a large commercial aircraft). Granted, 1.5 per month isn't all that rare, but noteworthy none the less.
