inside Trump’s anger and impatience — and his sudden decision to fire Comey

Every time FBI Director James B. Comey appeared in public, an ever-watchful President Trump grew increasingly agitated that the topic was the one that he was most desperate to avoid: Russia.

Trump had long questioned Comey's loyalty and judgment, and was infuriated by what he viewed as the director's lack of action in recent weeks on leaks from within the federal government. By last weekend, he had made up his mind: Comey had to go.

At his golf course in Bedminster, N.J., Trump groused over Comey's latest congressional testimony, which he thought was "strange," and grew impatient with what he viewed as his sanctimony, according to White House officials. Comey, Trump figured, was using the Russia probe to become a martyr.

Back at work Monday morning in Washington, Trump told Vice President Pence and several senior aides - Reince Priebus, Stephen K. Bannon and Donald McGahn, among others - that he was ready to move on Comey. First, though, he wanted to talk with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, his trusted confidant, and Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, to whom Comey reported directly. Trump summoned the two of them to the White House for a meeting, according to a person close to the White House.

The president already had decided to fire Comey, according to this person. But in the meeting, several White House officials said Trump gave Sessions and Rosenstein a directive: to explain in writing the case against Comey.

The pair quickly fulfilled the boss's orders, and the next day Trump fired Comey - a breathtaking move that thrust a White House already accustomed to chaos into a new level of tumult, one that has legal as well as political consequences.

Rosenstein threatened to resign after the narrative emerging from the White House on Tuesday evening cast him as a prime mover of the decision to fire Comey and that the president acted only on his recommendation, said the person close to the White House, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

Justice Department officials declined to comment.

The stated rationale for Comey's firing delivered Wednesday by principal deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was that he had committed "atrocities" in overseeing the FBI's probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state, hurting morale in the bureau and compromising public trust.

"He wasn't doing a good job," Trump told reporters Wednesday. "Very simple. He wasn't doing a good job."

But the private accounts of more than 30 officials at the White House, the Justice Department, the FBI and on Capitol Hill, as well as Trump confidants and other senior Republicans, paint a conflicting narrative centered on the president's brewing personal animus toward Comey. Many of those interviewed spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to candidly discuss internal deliberations.

Trump was angry that Comey would not support his baseless claim that President Barack Obama had his campaign offices wiretapped. Trump was frustrated when Comey revealed in Senate testimony the breadth of the counterintelligence investigation into Russia's effort to sway the 2016 U.S. presidential election. And he fumed that Comey was giving too much attention to the Russia probe and not enough to investigating leaks to journalists.

The known actions that led to Comey's dismissal raise as many questions as answers. Why was Sessions involved in discussions about the fate of the man leading the FBI's Russia investigation, after having recused himself from the probe because he had falsely denied under oath his own past communications with the Russian ambassador?

Why had Trump discussed the Russia probe with the FBI director three times, as he claimed in his letter dismissing Comey, which could have been a violation of Justice Department policies that ongoing investigations generally are not to be discussed with White House officials?

And how much was the timing of Trump's decision shaped by events spiraling out of his control - such as Monday's testimony about Russian interference by former acting attorney general Sally Yates, or the fact that Comey last week requested more resources from the Justice Department to expand the FBI's Russia probe?

In the weeks leading up to Comey's firing, Trump administration officials had repeatedly urged the FBI to more aggressively pursue leak investigations, according to people familiar with the discussions. Administration officials sometimes sought to push the FBI to prioritize leak probes over the Russia interference case, and at other times urged the bureau to investigate disclosures of information that was not classified or highly sensitive and therefore did not constitute crimes, these people said.

Over time, administration officials grew increasingly dissatisfied with the FBI's actions on that front. Comey's appearances at congressional hearings caused even more tension between the White House and FBI, as Trump administration officials were angered that the director's statements increased, rather than diminished, public attention on the Russia probe, officials said.

In his Tuesday letter dismissing Comey, Trump wrote: "I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation." People familiar with the matter said that statement is not accurate, although they would not say how it was inaccurate. FBI officials declined to comment on the statement, and a White House official refused to discuss conversations between Trump and Comey.
'Essentially declared war'
Within the Justice Department and the FBI, the firing of Comey has left raw anger, and some fear, according to multiple officials. Thomas O'Connor, the president of the FBI Agents Association, called Comey's firing "a gut punch. We didn't see it coming, and we don't think Director Comey did anything that would lead to this.''

Many employees said they were furious about the firing, saying the circumstances of his dismissal did more damage to the FBI's independence than anything Comey did in his three-plus years in the job.

One intelligence official who works on Russian espionage matters said they were more determined than ever to pursue such cases. Another said Comey's firing and the subsequent comments from the White House are attacks that won't soon be forgotten. Trump had "essentially declared war on a lot of people at the FBI," one official said. "I think there will be a concerted effort to respond over time in kind."

While Trump and his aides sought to justify Comey's firing, the now-canned FBI director, back from a work trip to Los Angeles, kept a low profile. He was observed puttering in his yard at his home in Northern Virginia on Wednesday.

In a message to FBI staff late Wednesday, Comey wrote: "I have long believed that a President can fire an FBI Director for any reason, or for no reason at all. I'm not going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed. I hope you won't either. It is done, and I will be fine, although I will miss you and the mission deeply."

He added that "in times of turbulence, the American people should see the FBI as a rock of competence, honesty, and independence."

Sam Nunberg, a former political adviser to Trump, said the FBI director misunderstood the president: "James Comey made the mistake of thinking that just because he announced the FBI was investigating possible collusion between the Russian government and the Trump campaign, he had unfettered job security. In my opinion, the president should have fired Comey the day he was sworn in."

George Lombardi, a friend of the president and a frequent guest at his Mar-a-Lago Club, said: "This was a long time coming. There had been a lot of arguments back and forth in the White House and during the campaign, a lot of talk about what side of the fence [Comey] was on or if he was above political dirty tricks."

Dating to the campaign, several men personally close to Trump deeply distrusted Comey and helped feed the candidate-turned-president's suspicions of the FBI director, who declined to recommend charges against Clinton for what they all agreed was a criminal offense, according to several people familiar with the dynamic.

The men influencing Trump include Roger J. Stone, a self-proclaimed dirty trickster and longtime Trump confidant who himself has been linked to the FBI's Russia investigation; former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, a Comey critic who has been known to kibbitz about the ousted FBI director with like-minded law enforcement figures; and Keith Schiller, a former New York police officer who functioned as Trump's chief bodyguard and works in the West Wing as director of Oval Office operations.

"What Comey did to Hillary was disgraceful," Stone said. "I'm glad Trump fired him over it."

In fact, it was Schiller whom Trump tasked with hand-delivering a manila envelope containing the president's termination letter to Comey's office at FBI headquarters Tuesday afternoon. Trump's aides did not appear to know that Comey would be out of the office, traveling on a recruiting trip in California, according to a White House official.

A chaotic response
Within the West Wing, there was little apparent dissent over the president's decision to fire Comey, according to the accounts of several White House officials. McGahn, the White House counsel, and Priebus, the chief of staff, walked Trump through how the dismissal would work, with McGahn's legal team taking the lead and coordinating with the Justice Department.

Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter, and her husband, Jared Kushner - both of whom work in the White House - have frequently tried to blunt Trump's riskier impulses but did not intervene to try to persuade him against firing Comey, according to two senior officials.

Trump kept a close hold on the process. White House press secretary Sean Spicer and communications director Michael Dubke were brought into the Oval Office and informed of the Comey decision just an hour before the news was announced. Other staffers in the West Wing found out about the FBI director's firing when their cellphones buzzed with news alerts beginning around 5:40 p.m.

The media explosion was immediate and the political backlash was swift, with criticism pouring in not only from Democrats, but also from some Republicans. Trump and some of his advisers did not fully anticipate the ferocious reaction - in fact, some wrongly assumed many Democrats would support the move because they had been critical of Comey in the past - and were unprepared to contain the fallout.

When asked Tuesday night for an update on the unfolding situation, one top White House aide simply texted a reporter two fireworks emoji.

"I think the surprise of a great many in the White House was that as soon as this became a Trump decision, all of the Democrats who had long been calling for Comey's ouster decided that this was now an awful decision," Dubke said. "So there was a surprise at the politicization of Democrats on this so immediately and so universally."

Trump's team did not have a full-fledged communications strategy for how to announce and then explain the decision. As Trump, who had retired to the residence to eat dinner, sat in front of a television watching cable news coverage of Comey's firing, he noticed another flaw: Nobody was defending him.

The president was irate, according to White House officials. Trump pinned much of the blame on Spicer and Dubke's communications operation, wondering how there could be so many press staffers yet such negative coverage on cable news - although he, Priebus and others had afforded them almost no time to prepare.

"This is probably the most egregious example of press and communications incompetence since we've been here," one West Wing official said. "It was an absolute disaster. And the president watched it unfold firsthand. He could see it."

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich said Trump bears some responsibility for the turmoil because he kept the decision secret from some key aides.

"You can't be the quarterback of the team if the rest of the team is not in the huddle," Gingrich said. "The president has to learn to go a couple steps slower so that everyone can organize around him. When you don't loop people in, you deprive yourself of all of the opportunities available to a president of the United States."

For more than two hours after the news broke, Trump had no official spokesman, as his army of communications aides scrambled to craft a plan. By nightfall, Trump had ordered his talkers to talk; one adviser said the president wanted "his people" on the airwaves.

Counselor Kellyanne Conway ventured into what White House aides call "the lions' den," appearing on CNN both Tuesday night and Wednesday morning for combative interviews. "Especially on your network, you always want to talk about Russia, Russia, Russia," Conway told CNN's Chris Cuomo on Wednesday.

Sanders went Tuesday night to the friendly confines of Fox News Channel, but Wednesday parried questions from the more adversarial hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Spicer, meanwhile, threw together an impromptu news conference with reporters in the White House driveway, a few minutes before he taped a series of short television interviews inside the West Wing, where the lighting was better for the cameras. The press secretary stood alongside tall hedges in near darkness and agreed to answer questions with the cameras shuttered.

"Just turn the lights off," Spicer ordered. "Turn the lights off. We'll take care of this."

Standard features include leather seats, a power liftgate, a backup camera, rear parking sensors, remote start with passive entry, push-button start, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. The Stelvio also comes equipped with a standard 2.0-liter turbo-four engine that produces 280 hp and 306 lb-ft of torque.

The base Stelvio is less expensive than the Jaguar F-Pace and Porsche Macan, which also feature standard four-cylinder engines. The F-Pace starts at $43,060 while the base Macan will set you back $48,850.

Buyers can opt for a $1,800 sport package to enhance the performance of the base Stelvio. A sport-tuned suspension, aluminum sport pedals, and steering column-mounted aluminum paddle shifters are just some of the updates this package affords.

Ahead of the base model is the Stelvio Ti, offering a host of extra creature comforts. Starting at $44,990, this model adds heated seats, genuine wood interior accents, an 8.8-inch widescreen entertainment and information display, SiriusXM, front park sensors, a heated steering wheel, and 19-inch wheels. A Ti Sport package upgrades to 20-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, and 12-way power high-performance sport seats, while the Ti Lusso package brings unique Luxury Pieno Fiore Italian leather seats with Cannelloni inserts and other goodies.

Unfortunately, Alfa Romeo hasn't announced pricing for the potent Stelvio Quadrifoglio, which features a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine producing 505 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. Both the base Stelvio and Stelvio Ti go on sale this summer in the U.S., but we'll have to wait until later this year to find out the timing for the Quadrifoglio launch.

Dutch police are searching for two suspects after a drugs laboratory was found with a large stash of pills favoured by jihadists.

Police have only just revealed the discovery last month of fake "Captagon" pills and say they do not know if they were destined for the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Italy's financial police revealed this week they had uncovered 37.5m pills of another drug, tramadol, also used by Islamist fighters.

The cargo was heading for Libya.

Tramadol is a synthetic opioid-like drug used as a painkiller.

Italian police said the consignment had come from India and would have been used for two purposes: to help finance Islamist terrorism and for use by jihadist fighters as a stimulant and to heighten resistance to physical stress.

Abuse of tramadol was described by a report this year as "rampant" in the ranks of Boko Haram fighters in Nigeria and to have played a role in "enabling atrocities on both sides of the conflict".

Fake Captagon and the Syrian conflict

The main ingredient of counterfeit Captagon tablets is usually amphetamine but illegal drug-makers often add caffeine or other substances.

It is widely seen as fuelling the conflict in Syria, as the drug has generated millions of dollars in revenue and has been used by combatants. The drug previously sold as Captagon was a psychostimulant called fenethylline, banned since the 1980s, related to amphetamine.

Taking the drug lowers inhibitions to violence and prolongs a fighter's ability to remain alert for combat.

The counterfeit Captagon pills were found in a barn in Brunssum in the southern Dutch province of Limburg, along with a tablet-making machine and other drugs.

Police said the tablets had been analysed by the Netherlands Forensic Institute and found to contain two ingredients, amphetamine and caffeine. The pills were of a type used as a stimulant in the Middle East but it was not known if that was their destination.

A man who lived in the neighbouring house was arrested a few days after the discovery last month and a woman was detained on Monday. Two other suspects are being sought.

In March, Greek police arrested four suspects in a fake Captagon-making ring and confiscated 650,000 tablets.

An Indianapolis man is facing three consecutive life sentences in prison for killing three people over four days last spring in attacks that authorities say he justified by citing the horror movie, "The Purge."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An Indianapolis man who justified his four-day killing spree with the horror movie "The Purge" was sentenced Thursday to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Johnathan Cruz, 20, was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences without parole, with an additional 16 years in prison for armed robbery. He pleaded guilty to three counts of murder last month. Prosecutors dropped plans to seek the death penalty.

Cruz was charged with shooting and killing three men - Billy Boyd, Jay Higginbotham and Jose Alberto Ruiz - between May 12 and May 15, 2016. Prosecutors claimed he "killed for the sport" and the attacks were "absolutely random," Fox 59 Indianapolis reported.
DEAD PRIEST'S DNA COULD SOLVE COLD-CASE MURDER OF NUN
Witnesses said Cruz confessed he'd been "purging" by shooting and robbing people, according to detectives. He allegedly posted one message that said, "I purge every night now," and kept videos of shootings and gang activities on his phone.

He justified the murders by referring to the 2013 movie about a night in a year when people were allowed to commit violent crimes.

The Celtics crushed the Wizards in Game 5

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On any night that you limit Isaiah Thomas to just 18 points on 5-for-13 shooting, you have to feel pretty good about your chances.

Yet thanks to big games from Avery Bradley (29 points, including 21 in the first half) and Al Horford (19 points, six rebounds, seven assists), the Boston Celtics destroyed the Washington Wizards 123-101in Game 5 to seize a 3-2 series advantage.

The home team has won all five games in this series, as each team's role players have dominated in their own building and fallen apart on the road. With John Wall having his first sub-par game of the postseason (21 points, four assists) and no one else on the Wizards roster up to the challenge, Washington was never in this game. The Celtics claimed a 33-21 first quarter lead and never trailed after first falling behind 4-0 to start the game.

The Celtics put on a show in front of quite a few members of the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, who were seated courtside along with a smiling Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft.

Boston fans were in rare form on Wednesday night, as they ruthlessly taunted and booed Washington's Kelly Oubre, who was suspended for Game 4 after a Game 3 altercation with Boston's Kelly Olynyk. The chants took a vulgar turn late in the game with Boston ahead by 20-plus points ( link NSFW).

And because he's one of the best point guards in the NBA, Thomas managed to make an impact on the game in the fourth quarter, even if it was only adding insult to injury as he tore through the Wizards defense for a tough layup:

(CNN)Texas is proposing a bill that could keep transgender students out of high school sports.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Texas is poised to pass a bill that could bar them from participating.

The state Senate passed the bill Tuesday, and it could go before the House as soon as Wednesday.

It is the latest in a string of controversial measures that opponents say unfairly target LGBT people, immigrants and religious minorities.

The author of the bill regarding teen athletes says the legislation isn't meant to target transgender students.

Sen. Bob Hall, a Republican from Edgewood, Texas, said he intends to keep students safe and competitions fair.

CNN reached out to Hall on Wednesday but has not heard back from him. However, The Texas Tribune quoted him as saying, "This bill is not addressing who plays on what sports. This bill is addressing individuals who ... are taking steroids, then make sure, as a result of that, the events remain safe and fair."

Steroids already banned, with 'safe harbor' exception

A Democratic senator, Sylvia Garcia of Houston, offered an amendment to spell out protections for transgender kids, but it was voted down.

"The real intent of the bill is to keep young transgender athletes from participating in sports," Garcia told CNN. "We need to make sure they're free to participate just like everybody else."

State law already bans steroid use, but it allows a "safe harbor" exception for students using steroids prescribed by a doctor, Garcia said.

The new bill would eliminate that. It would let the state board that oversees high school sports disqualify those student-athletes if that board says their prescribed steroid use affects safety or fair play.

"All young people should have the opportunity to play interscholastic sports and have their personal dignity respected," advocacy group Equality Texas said in a statement. "Transgender people are no different."

The group said the state of Texas discriminates by letting kids play only according to the gender on their birth certificates.

It said six other states have similar policies.

'Bathroom bill' and more

Garcia said the new bill was filed in response to the case of Mack Beggs, a Texas transgender boy who was allowed to wrestle only against girls.

The bill is the latest in a series of headline-making efforts that Texas lawmakers have introduced this year. Critics have said the measures unfairly target not only transgender people but also gays and lesbians, religious minorities and immigrants.

"A lot of it has to do with the political climate," Garcia said. "It seems that every year there is a new target."

Here is the status of some other controversial measures:

* Religious adoption: The House passed a bill to let adoption agencies reject potential parents on religious objections, including gays, single people and anyone of a religion objectionable to the agency. The Senate will consider the bill.
* Public restrooms: The so-called bathroom bill missed a key deadline in the House after passing the Senate. It would require people to use public restrooms based on the gender on their birth certificates.
* Sanctuary cities: Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a bill banning sanctuary cities. It establishes criminal and civil penalties for local government entities and law enforcement that don't comply with immigration laws and detention requests, the governor's office said.

Girl dies in British theme park accident

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The incident happened at the Splash Canyon ride at Drayton Manor theme park, north of Birmingham, Staffordshire Police said.

"It is with great sadness we have to report that a young girl has passed away at Birmingham Children's Hospital following an incident on one of the park's water rides this afternoon," George Bryan, company director of Drayton Manor Park, said in a statement.

Bryan added that staff were alerted when the girl fell into the water. "The theme park staff tried to help her and an air ambulance airlifted her to a hospital nearby," he said.

The girl, a student at the Jameah Academy in Leicester, was on a school visit to the park when the incident occurred. The school released a statement confirming that the year 6 student had died.

"As a school community, we are deeply shocked and our thoughts are with our pupil's family and friends. The school will ensure specially trained staff are in school to provide our pupils and staff support at this difficult time," it said. The school's website describes it as an "independent Islamic school."

The park would remain closed Wednesday "as a mark of respect to the family," a statement on the park's Facebook page said. It did not specify how long the ride in question would be suspended.

The injured student was taken from the water at the scene of the accident and transported to Birmingham Children's Hospital, but died shortly after arrival, a West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said.

"On arrival, crews discovered a girl with serious injuries who had been rescued from the water by park staff," he said. "Ambulance staff administered advanced life support before she was flown to Birmingham Children's Hospital with the doctor continuing treatment en route."

"Unfortunately, shortly after arrival at hospital the girl passed away."

The ride is similar to one in the Dreamworld theme park in Queensland, Australia, on which four people died in October of last year.

In that incident, four adults and two children were riding on the "flume" type ride, called the Thunder River Rapids Ride, when the malfunction occurred. The two children survived but the four adults died when their carriage flipped after it came in contact with another towards the end of the ride.

The collision caused some of the passengers to fall onto the conveyor belt, where they were caught in the machinery, a Queensland Police Service spokesman said at the time.

cali coast helicopter spots 25 great white sharks by beach

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
But that's exactly what beachgoers in California heard broadcast from a helicopter loudspeaker as they paddleboarded in the waters off Capistrano Beach in Orange County on Wednesday.

Lifeguards "are advising that you exit the water in a calm manner. The sharks are as close as the surfline," Orange County Sheriff Deputy Brian Stockbridge is heard saying on a video shot from a helicopter overlooking the beach.

The school of sharks was spotted by Orange County Sheriff's Duke 1 helicopter around 1:30 p.m. Jason Young, Orange County's lifeguards chief, said they received two reports of shark sightings in the Capistrano Beach area, the OC Register reported.

Later in the evening another group of great white sharks were spotted more than 50 miles north of Orange County, off the coast of Long Beach. The Long Beach Fire Department issued a shark advisory, for the area warning all beach patrons to enter the beach "at their own risk."

There have been several great white shark sightings in the area off the coast of Southern California since the beginning of the year. Just last month, a 33-year-old woman was attacked by a shark while swimming in the waters off San Onofre State Beach.

Boston fans were in rare form on Wednesday night, as they ruthlessly taunted and booed Washington's Kelly Oubre, who was suspended for Game 4 after a Game 3 altercation with Boston's Kelly Olynyk. The chants took a vulgar turn late in the game with Boston ahead by 20-plus points ( link NSFW).

On any night that you limit Isaiah Thomas to just 18 points on 5-for-13 shooting, you have to feel pretty good about your chances. Yet thanks to big games from Avery Bradley (29 points, including 21 in the first half) and Al Horford (19 points, six rebounds, seven assists), the Boston Celtics destroyed the Washington Wizards 123-101 in Game 5 to seize a 3-2 series advantage.

Boeing Co. is temporarily suspending flights of its new 737 Max jetliner because of a potential manufacturing flaw in the engines, marring the commercial debut for the fastest-selling plane in company history.

The jetmaker and its engine supplier, a venture of General Electric Co. and Safran SA, are rushing to understand the problem ahead of the aircraft's first delivery, which remains scheduled for later this month. Boeing said a possible quality defect in the Leap engine's low-pressure turbine discs was discovered during inspections and hadn't affected flight testing of the upgraded 737.

The grounding added to concerns about the strain on suppliers as the U.S. manufacturer and European rival Airbus SE unveil new aircraft models while ramping up single-aisle production to record levels. Boeing is counting on a smooth start for the 737 Max, the newest version of a plane that is the company's largest source of profit, as it seeks to boost cash flow.

"Investors are acutely focused on 737 Max ramp risk -- and the impact on cash," Robert Stallard, an analyst at Vertical Research Partners, said in a note to clients.

Boeing fell 1.2 percent to $183.18 at the close in New York, the second-biggest decline on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, after adjusting for the beginning of trading without the right to a dividend. GE dropped 0.8 percent to $28.70.

First Delivery

The Max has accumulated 3,714 orders before its commercial debut but is still racing to catch up to Airbus's A320neo. The latest 737 model is slated to be handed over this month to Indonesia's Malindo Air and Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA. Other major customers with deliveries this year include Southwest Airlines Co. and American Airlines Group Inc.

The decision to halt flights was made "out of an abundance of caution," said Boeing spokesman Doug Alder, adding that the plane completed flight testing months ahead of schedule. "The step is consistent with our priority focus on safety."

Rick Kennedy, a spokesman for GE Aviation, said about 30 CFM International engines will be inspected at sites in the U.S. and France. In the meantime, production will continue using discs from other CFM suppliers, he said. The issue doesn't affect other versions of the Leap engine used on planes from Airbus and Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China Ltd., Kennedy said.

"This doesn't look like a serious concern," Cai von Rumohr, an analyst with Cowen & Co., said in a note to clients. The engine problem is "not a design shortfall but what appears to be an easily fixable sub-tier supplier component issue."

Both CFM and rival Pratt & Whitney, which together make the bulk of engines for narrow-body commercial jets, have encountered faults as they've churned out turbines over the past year.

Pratt Delays

Airbus has fallen behind in deliveries of its A320neo family of aircraft as Pratt's cutting-edge geared turbofan engine encounters durability issues and production snarls. Executives of Air Lease Corp., a Los Angeles-based aircraft lessor, warned during an earnings call last week that a CFM-powered model was also encountering delays.

CFM faces a steep production increase for the Leap, as Boeing and Airbus plot to increase narrow-body production by 33 percent through the decade's end. After delivering 77 of the engines last year, 28 fewer than it had predicted, CFM has targeted producing about 500 Leap this year and about 2,000 in 2020.

"It's important that this gets straightened out pronto," Nicholas Heymann, an analyst at William Blair & Co., said of the engine issue. Bladed discs, located in the hot section of a turbofan engine, pull energy from the hot gases of the combustor to produce thrust. The components must be able to withstand extreme stresses and high temperatures inside the engine.

The Leap 1-B engines, created for Boeing's Max, were repeatedly inspected during more than 2,000 hours in the air for the Max 8's flight test program, which concluded during the first quarter, Alder said. The engine endured another 3,000 simulated flight cycles during testing that ended last month so the plane would be certified for long ocean flights.

Airline Impact

The impact on airline customers eager to show off the brand-new planes wasn't immediately apparent. Boeing has several unaffected engines available that it could swap to avoid lengthy delays on initial deliveries, Alder said.

Malindo Air, an affiliate of Lion Mentari Airlines, had expected to take the 737 Max early next week, advertising that commercial service would begin May 19.

For Norwegian, also awaiting its first Max this month, the inspections "will result in a few days' delay" but aren't expected to disrupt the carrier's new trans-Atlantic flights starting next month, spokesman Anders Lindstrom said in an email. The carrier had expected to take five more of the single-aisle planes in June.

Southwest and American said they hadn't been notified of any changes to their Max delivery schedules. Southwest is the second-biggest customer for the Max after Lion Air, with 200 on order, while American has ordered 100 of the planes.

On-time delivery of Southwest's Max planes is critical because the Dallas-based airline is counting on them to fill a gap when it retires its oldest aircraft on Oct. 1. Southwest is set to take delivery of its first Max in July, the airline's chief financial officer said in January. American is scheduled to receive four Max aircraft this year, the first in the third quarter.
