Cotos
I'm with you on this one.
when I was there we would hand write the defects and then they would enter them into a computer system changing the wording. The defect would sometimes appear on the defect card totally different to what you snagged.
All said, they are a very keen and knowledgeable bunch of guys and gals who know a lot on there specialist subject. They are seconded to hyd and u/c, engines, flight controls, doors, cabins etc. They work these areas every day, every check! But watch out..there are also a lot of inexperenced people/trainees and because you dont know them you may think that they know what there doing. I asked a young lad to spray some corrosion protection before closing the radome on a 737......scanner change...it was dripping!!!!
Good points are the chargehands are great people who certainly know there stuff. They look after the manpower and make decisions leaving you to get on with your inspections etc..On a D check you will have cards to inspect the flaps and other removable items,these all go straight into the workshops and come out like new.
A lot of good work goes on there but keep your wits about you.
