I can give you at least 2 reasons:

1) Good customer service
2) They don't require many engine replacements, so why not keep a couple handy in the USA for fast turn-around

Heck, when United or American or Delta need an engine, they fly one in on the next flight, and smack her in, in a couple hours. Does that mean GE makes poor engines because they can replace them quickly?

This may all be true. However, my service advisor told me otherwise without telling me so.

If you get my meaning.
