Sorry to see this has been moved to the Engineer's page as I belive that Aircrew have a right to see the state of Engineering, not just in Emerald but many Airlines within the UK.
Were Profit is being put before Engineering decisions, Pilots have a right to know what is happening to the Aircraft which they fly.
Engineers are being side-lined by bean counters,
Airline's own Engineering support is being sold off or got rid of and Maintenance is being put out to Third Party Maintenance Organisations who do the Cheapest job not the best job, and I belive that Pilots Should Start showing their dis-pleasure and concern that Maintenance costs and Safety are being put behind Profit
