We seem to be suffering from Accountancy overload. It may be the way things are happening outside the industry but why should that be how it is done inside. If we lose any more engineering experience (like MAN) we will not be able to keep the aircraft in the air. . .The way BA treated the Cityflier engineers that were coming over caused many of them to seek employment elsewhere. Now we have the situation of 14 days to change an engine. That is because we lost 5 engineers. Not many as a percentage of total engineers at LGW but that is how accountants see us. . .Now that you have seen what can happen to engineers what will happen to pilots. After all we have a requirement for X pilots so who cares what they can fly?
