ali crom, you have opened up the big pandoras box,this is the dark side of aviation, (does it could come under duty of care?, oz caa love that phrase) that the public dont know about and caa,casa etc do not want to know,it,s called ruffling feathers,suffice to say i'm the wrong side of 50,and this must have been going on since the wright brothers came in for the first nifty 50 hour check,and please beware of the discreet phone call to the powers that be, here in oz,in perth a licenced sparky did just that, company found out,no such thing as private phone calls, and they always will find out in the end, it just takes them time,and phone calls, that guy became unemployable overnight, if you dont like it dont sign it,i know it's easier said than done, but its a hard life being an engineer trying to walk that getting finer line.i've seen a trend towards getting younger guys to signe off iffy areas, which is a bit of a concern (but it's still better than working for a living)
