This would expose both companies for having off-procedure work being done and would not have triggered an inspection of the re-install because, per the records, no work had been done. At some point another Spirit worker noted the damaged seal and got and installed a replacement with a work order, but this is when they would find no removal work order for the door/plug, so they couldn't generate an install work order.
I was thinking the same thing - they can't produce the paperwork because there
isn't any paperwork. Which is also why the bolts didn't get re-installed - there wasn't anything that said they needed to be.
As bad as that is, the good news is that it's pretty easy to fix - make sure that everyone DOES THE
PAPERWORK!!!
