Sounds like the bean counters are at it again. What an absolute recipe for disaster. Its bad enough doing one important and critical job without having to double the workload on an individual during the turnround. How would one prioritise the work? Being a loadie and flying to the depths of Africa usually with a flying spanner I cant see how it could possibly work for the benefit of a cargo outfit. Sure some turnrounds are easy and everything goes smoothly (about 20%) but when the proverbial hits the fan for either party (80% of the time) then the chances that mistakes are going to be made will be a lot higher. I certainly wouldn't entertain fixing ([enter task here]) on no.3 engine whilst trying to load a 110T of freight in a country where they dont understand that if you put 30t in the tail you could end up looking for a very long ladder to reach the engine!
Nuff said. Glad its not our company.
