With respect to one 'C' licensed engineer certifying a whole 'C' check, consider what a current Level 2 approval holder is certifying. He is stating that a job has been carried out in accordance with the correct instructions, that the team or individual carrying out the task has been properly briefed and instructed, and finally, the inspection of finished work. So how many Certifying Engineers reading this have rejected work on inspection this year alone? I have, so there is a start. One person to certify a whole 'C' check? Are they dreaming? One person to carry out all the inspection of the finished product in all trade disciplines? I don't think so. The, no doubt highly paid and overworked individual would spend as much, if not more time checking the aeroplane before release to service as the blokes spent working on it. Think about it for a minute; on a string of complex tasks one person couldn't be expected to sholder all the responsiblity; it would be too much. So how long would it be before there was a hull loss? Not very. There would be the fiasco that the rail companies have faced recently with track not being properly maintained, and the recruitment of people who were made redundant not too many years ago to try to make amends to the situation. Too little too late. Vehicle maintenance, be it plane, train or car is about safety AND SHOULDN'T BE TREATED AS A SOLE MEANS TO MAKE A PROFIT. I hope that poeple who are convinced by Change Philosophy read this and take note.
