Interesting! You say the Company pressure can push people to omit entries from the book. Not being nieve to worldly ways and experience as a spanner on the ground, I am sure this is widespread throughout aviation. Some outfits better than others.
But where do you draw the line?
And what do you do when the pressure comes from another source? From the very people who teach you that flight safety is paramount?
Well that's when I draw the line.
Ok, if the forward toilet packs up when you are down route, you aint going to deck the beast in some far off backwater. A bit of common sense must prevail I agree.
I am talking about pushing it far beyond what is regarded a sensible and safe.
We all want to keep our jobs and tow the company line to a point. After all, that is why we sold our souls to the bank manager to get where we are today. But this must never be a reason to be pushed into a corner.
Despite Ian Flemmings claims regarding Mr. Bond. You really do only live once!
