LME(GOD) - a classic "there-but-for-the-grace-etc".
I am annoyed that, despite anecdotes concerning the CAA admonishing maintenance management, nothing seems to change. My opinion is that this is due to the CAA's mandate to regulate and support the industry. How can an organisation do both? Perhaps the CAA should be absorbed into the DTER and funded by the tax payer (might reduce the charges, too).
There must be a few Accountable Managers unaware of their liablity (having signed the statement in their MMOE). It must also be true to state that a few engineers must be unaware of their liablity and responsibility to the Accountable Manager/CAA/the Public and themselves.
