At XXX they are handled by engineering from another airline (at the moment), they refused to do any repair until authority was received from tech services etc for the type of repair to be done, what materials were required, what inspections were needed etc etc. So no gash repair was carried out, all necessary inspections were carried out, the reverser was locked out all iaw MM and approved documents etc etc.
However in the very near future they will be self handling at XXX now that will be a different ball game! As at the moment they are watching what is done by the engineers from the other airline (to see how it's done properly maybe!) and the suggestion was put forward to use speed tape and send it on it's way! Which was politely declined, I'm told.
15 inch gash in nacelle filled with foam and speed tape before being despatched
sorry but utter rubbish.
