Come on guys,
Captain Poodle has got some valid points. Pilots donīt have as much indepth knowledge about maintaining an aircraft as we do, but we donīt know sh%t about flying them, really.
As for the arrogant attitude some pilots show engineers think about this, how many times have you told a cleaner or loader that they did a great job and that their work was essential and appreciated, because thats what this argument is really about. Flight engineers being arrogant, now there is a screaming session waiting to happen.
