"when you arrive at said airfield and discover a defect, either enroute or on the ground what happens? do you have a "call out" contract with a maintenace provider or do you make a "that al' be alright" phone call to main base?"
is Vascani the only one admitting this?...there must be more of you out there who can speak out....
just to explain to all, this is specifically related to LoCo carriers and secondary airports they serve...this does not normally happen to main Carriers, unless diverted...
any other comment on this one?
I would like to remind all readers that, very often, LoCo carriers land at nearly "unknown" airports with minimum or no maintenance facilities.
Am I exagerating here? I do not think so...I am with Viscani 100%.
Sunfish is also right, self-censorship is a tricky game, especially in a life critical activity.
Honestly, I would have expected a sensibly higher number of posts on this issue...but the highly paid Managers have really this issue in hands at the moment!
Scary, very scary.
