SASless,
The dust sticks up there, that's why we all pick our noses !! Not only are the 212 Check 2's now carried out at 3,000 hours, they are done without any spares as people aren't allowed to request any until the powers that be see physical proof that something is unserviceable. So a Check 2 that used to take around 2 weeks (with a work party), can now take up to 4 months !!
Penny wise, pounds foolish............
