558 airshow saga
Well does 903 know his a=s# from his elbow these are a couple of reasons for the recent problem dis-gruntled is correct on work and timescales.
The reason is plain to understand in many ways a contract was in place for technician cover 24/7 this was changed to ease the financial burden on tvoc/vtts to as and when basis.
As per normal the delay in reporting the snag to MA 3 days this time unlike the last time when the fuses blew that was over a week also the issue with spares and NDT inspections to see that no other damage was done due to the failure.
The request to assist came at mid afternoon Wednesday and the 3 airframe techs can not be released due to involvement on major projects that due to the present EU climate and the support to the UN and the goverments (priority), if you needed aid etc you may realise the problem
As for the techs saying it can wait till monday total bulls~it remember these are the techs who were working 80 to 90 hrs a week to get 558 up in the air whilst the tvoc support went home early to have tea or band practices and vairious other reasons.
As others have said if tvoc management had laid down a contract and paid to have the cover and expertise then yes MA would have to drop everything to support it untill then it will be the same every time
thanks one of the bad guys
