The business of placing an aircraft U/S is very much a matter of team work. There should be no objection to anyone rasing a work order on a jet.
A bit self contradictory I think!
My post wasn't about trust , though I can see why anyone may have thought so. Especially my last sentence which was tounge firmly in cheek.
It was about when pressure is brought to bear on people to "sign it up" or variations on that theme. That's when it becomes dangerous, it is unfortunatly becoming more and more commonplace and if the engineering staff at Lyneham are subject to that kind of pressure we should
all be concerned.
The rest of your post I agree with totally, indeed as my handle might suggest I have a very strong working relationship with the form F703
