Nutloose - fat chance!

Here’s just one example of why not.

I recall as part of an Contract Maintenance Audit team, I had cause to to issue a ‘Cat 2’ non compliance report on a well known civilian contractor at a flying training base somewhere oop norf.

suffice it to say the AP100b Engineering Orders (which, you may have been familiar with) was at best being deliberately misinterpreted to reduce staffing levels below what was in the contract, so that profit was being maximised.

Anyway…when my team leader (A Wg Cdr Engineer) took my report he said “That’s all very well, but I am not going to mention this……”. Should have formed part of the wash up and out brief to the Civilian Contract manager (O.C. Eng equiv) Fair enough? His prerogative as team leader, I guess. His signature.

The said Wg Cdr then left the service shortly after, and, allegedly, walked straight into a senior engineering job with…you’ve guessed it….the very same Maintenance Contractor.

same old same old….
