Quoted:
"brand" maintenance. I think it's this, but not sure how effective it is. Like Saab's "Born from jets" campaign even though the car and aircraft companies split awhile ago. It's trying to convey that the technology and quality in the engines also goes into your light bulb or toaster oven. |

Quoted:

People who buy jet engines would be a very small group and much more easily (and less expensivly) targeted than buying national advertizing. I could see putting them in Investors Business Daily, WSJ etc. |

Ran a major airline's global WAN for several years, night sys-op, when my boxes were humming along smooth, the res floor chix were the only game on the campus, except for the flight-ops chix , who dug the flight ops guys, who hated us (IT) because we forced them to quit hogging the network with combat sims.
Anyway... Lots of people refuse to fly Airbus. Think they're unsafe. Same went for DC-10s after idiot mechanics installed the bolts upside down and engines fell off. That killed McDonnell Douglass for good. GE wants to make sure people dialing reservation floors, and clicking Orbitz, check to make sure those carriers are flying super safe, proven GE turbo-fan equipment. I suspect the average frequent flyer has no idea that airframe manufacturers do NOT choose the engines, the purchaser does. I suspect that the average frequent flyer will never drill down to the nuts and bolts of commercial aviation equipment, and specify every component they wish to fly with. I suspect that GE is tossing money in the trash with this ad campaign, but it's their money, they can experiment with it if they choose to. |

I'll bet that you deal with GE (and other jet engine dealers) on a regular basis and you don't know it. Most if not all large commercial jet engines are not owned by the airline, they are owned by leasing corporations. Those leasing corporations are owned by or are fronts for banks, capitol groups, investment groups and so on. |

Why not, we all like jet engines. They're cool, made in America, whats not to love.
Distracts from the fact that they make wind turbines as well, and will profit like no other from green legislation. Distracts from the fact that they make medical equipment, and will profit greatly from socialized medicine. Distracts from the fact they make those neat little leathal mercury filled long life light bulbs, and they want you those instead of the reasonably priced simple every day lightbulb. And finally, it distracts from the fact that they own MSNBC, and that they will say anything they have to in order to get the government to legislate the sales of thier products. They don't want those crazy Fox News viewers piecing this together, so they remind us that jet engines are good, so GE must be good. |

GE is a multi-national corporation. They have no national favoritism except who maximizes profits, and what GE does in other countries is none of the United State's business |

For the regular joe, is to sell stock and give a good view of the company. Most people just think GE only makes appliance.
But in reality, they make pretty much everything. And to the PW manuals being better comment. I can't really say anything about that since the manuals i used are standarized by NAVAIR. But i find it and like working on GE engines better than PW. |
