Yep. Fan blade off, shroud separation, HP disc separation, compressor stall, FOD ingestion/bird strike, EGT rise, oil system issues. Very unlikely events but still possible events that need a prepared response to and capabilities to manage the aircraft. The presumption is that the crew is trained, diligent, disciplined, and concerned with survival. Without that, aircraft would need to be unmanned and flown by AI lacking in ability to handle any unforeseen events creatively.
I'm not sure you want a creative AI flying a plane anyway.
I don't want AI planes either, but the alternative of unmanned is ground-based drone operators who lack the survival interests of being on the planes. As such, I want non-AI flown planes with sane, stable, rested, practiced, experienced, sober pilots on the plane that isn't overly complicated and is reliable.
You can call it Schroedinger Airlines :))
You may or may not reach your destination. Or something like that.
Just leave the door closed at all times, and then there's no definitive problem.
