Ahh bean counters.....watched in awe when the bean counters at a certain UK Company had worked out it was cheaper to get contractors in to do a Major on an aircraft belonging to the Company that surprisingly shut its doors soon after.
What is wrong with that you ask, well.... the Company had a full staff of its own engineers and only the one plane in which the Companies engineers were forbidden to work on, because they were more expensive labour wise than contractors, so the Company was now employing two engineering staff, the cheaper contractors doing the job and their own staff standing around all day being paid to do nothing.
Nothing bean counter wise surprises me these days.
