If you knew anything about aircraft, you would know that engine replacements and overhauls are all a part of proper aircraft maintenance. Do you think they last forever? As for looking through a Boeing parts catalog for a new engine, that's not true. Boeing doesn't make or sell aircraft engines. They are supplied to Boeing by aircraft engine manufacturers like GE, Pratt & Whitney, etc. and installed by Boeing when the aircraft is made. Also the box for the engine is probably not sold separately. It would most likely be included in the price of the engine and be used to ship the old engine (core) back to the manufacturer after swapping them out.

engine is shipped in, but not the engine... [HR][/HR]
Assuming they could order an engine "box" from Boeing, if they were mad because there was no engine, they are stupid and should be fired because like I said: 1. Boeing doesn't make or sell aircraft engines and 2. does not make or sell the crating for engines.

I think either your dad was flat out wrong or you're just making the story up. I should know. I work for Boeing and never heard such a story. Most likely an urban legend. But if you have further information to support such a story, then post it. Also, exactly where in Boeing did you dad work? What was his job?
