I’ve never been fearful. Lost count how many ramps I’ve had, even FOIs coming along and assessing me on checkrides etc.
Like i said in the Coffs thread, a long time ago an AWI went and told my boss the plane was busted to save me having to cop the boss’s wrath because the plane was grounded- he knew what was coming my way if it was me telling the boss it was grounded!
Yes I’ve had some inspectors that have probably been “over zealous” but if you don’t be a prick to them, they generally won’t be a prick to you. Like any other interaction with humans basically. And when you know your right, can back it up, and doing things correctly etc, you’ve got nothing to worry about.
