If that plane had some good engines the stinking birds wouldn't hurt it.
And that strat woudn't have come down if it wasn't for having bad propellers and prop control system.
I'm not sure what a "good engine" would be. In my 30 years of working on heavy jets, I've seen engines from Pratt & Whitney, GE, Rolls Royce, and CFM (the one that was on the A320) taken out by bird strikes. Any bird large enough (or too many small ones) is going to disable a jet engine, no matter what company built it.
