Well stated 'blacksheep'.
Shy Torque I was not trying to **** on pilots at all, it's just that I, like many of us in the Maint trade are really fed up now with the 'CAA' shafting of us.
I think the biggest problem is the lack of communication between the CAA and Maint. personnel as there is NOT a proper body to work with the CAA on our behalf and have a view on our impact and inputs.
The CAA have come out with this new system of Licencing which is grey and patchy in some areas, but try to call or write or whatever to clear anything with them is an absoult waste of time, seems they are making it up as they go along!
Pissed off again!!!!!!!!!
Best regards
