I understand the AOC is only suspended - not actually revoked. . .. .The CAA have apparently given AFX a number of chances to sort themselves out but each time they've failed to do so - on one occasion Bowles didn't even bother turing up for a meeting at Aviation House!!!. .. .From what I've heard around LHR is the engineering side of things is somewhat of a hazard - one of the A/c checks was done in China !!! . .. .Engine monitoring from the flight deck is fine with the usual note making of T's & P's - but all these were discovered just stacked in a cupboard, no-one had bothered to enter them anywhere so no-one has any idea whats happening under those cowlings - I wonder what the engine owners think about that one (assuming they are leased).. .. .Sad news for the 120 staff they employ but I can't help thinking the industry is better off without them..
