Here's some more points of interest.
On a C check the tech normally has to insp areas ,and certify for work
carried out.
He has the unenviable task of being responsible for the final product that
his men have produced , whether its a single nut on a seat or a whole skin
repair,
If the check time is reduced does this mean that his time spent on insp
work carried out is reduced? I think not!
This must mean that he has to allow his lads no matter how experienced to do
certain tasks with out him seeing them.
Less time must mean more men. This must mean less actual work monitored.
I do trust most of the fitters that work under me but no matter how good
they are they DO MAKE MISTAKES, they may only be minor, but a damaged O ring
maybe the oil leak on an ETOPS flight, and its the poor guy that signed for
it that they will look for not the fitter.
The way the law is now, they do say that the directors of a company are
liable if a disaster occurs (you know what I mean!!!) but remember this,
come the big inquiry they will look for the tech signature as well.
I wonder if this is an argument to get me a pay rise (DIRECTORS MONEY )
