Me!

I can't go flying this weekend

Engines as mentioned above relate to very light commercial and private I'd say.

Dash 8's and the like operate Pratt and Whitney from memory.... but then I haven't been in the aviation field for some time now so might be talking shite

We have not been affected, we did do a cross hire for another company this morning but nothing too stressful. We do know a few people that were going for their pilots license today, but have to postpone due to their aircraft being grounded. Skippers do operate Conquests which are quite light aircraft but they have not been affected. This is big business however, CASA don't just ground this many aircraft so quickly if it's not a serious problem. Could mean a lot of "rescue" flights going out with engineers going all over the place, if aircraft are stuck in remote areas without maintenance support!

EDIT: Some of the comments on that story are so stupid, I added my two cents.
