Must reiterate the plea from Jobza Guddun: there must be a few PPRuNe readers who have been involved with the E2E review and implementation (Marham esp springs to mind). Give us some justification for the move away from sqn-based maintenance. This is probably an ideal forum to help convince us sceptics!
As an ex-sqn EngO myself, I am extremely doubtful that the benefits of centralisation will outweigh the (often unquantifiable) advantages of sqn-based operations. On my sqn, every single member of the groundcrew took pride in being part of the sqn and as mentioned earlier, at 0400 in the morning this means a lot when deciding to go that extra mile to fix the jets. It certainly wasn't due to inspired leadership from me!!
(PS. We could do without the personal attacks from the start of this thread tho'.)
