Perhaps I should have put the two Topics in as separate rumours, as it was not my intent to indicate that in Dublin the Maintenance is of a lower standard than elsewhere.

But I will say that too many Airlines are only looking at the cost of the Maintenance and that the cost must be lower and the Organisation that puts in the lower cost will win the contract.

We the Engineering Maintenance Facility where I work have been told we must reduce our cost and if we dont the Company that puts in a bid lower than ours will win the Contract to Maintain the Aircraft, this is a desision that will purely be based on cost.

I belive that too many organisations are "ONLY LOOKING AT THE COST OF MAINTENANCE WITH NO CONCERN TO THE QUALITY OF THE MAINTENACE" and I also belive that at some point in the near future an Aircraft will be involved in a incident and the primary cause will be down to a Maintenance Error of which one of the main causes will be due to the Poor Quality of that Maintenance due to cost savings.
