It has reviewed its quality management structure, as well as its internal maintenance error investigation process, and is implementing an enhanced supervisory structure to oversee maintenance standards.
More BA 'spin' I'm afraid - yes there was a review but it has now stalled and nothing is going to change in the foreseable future - unless you include the proposed 10% reduction in Engineering staff???
Airline .............. Flt Crew ............ Engineering
Ryanair.................800................2
And
both of them left BA to join Ryanair
If anyone wants to read the whole report it is
here
seems that BA is also telling porkies to the AAIB
5.4 Safety Recommendation 2005-119
British Airways Maintenance Organisation should review the level of supervision on the \'shop floor\' to satisfy itself that it is adequate to maintain the required standards of airworthiness. -
Recommendation reviewed
and implemented.
!!!!
All full review regarding the role and responsibilities for enhanced supervision of maintenance standards has been carried out. The review has included the scope of technical decision-making, responsibilities for team leadership and supervision of maintenance standards. Additionally a review of feedback from LAE\'s following maintenance incidents, together with visits to other BA partner airlines, to carry out \'best practice\' reviews of LAE duties has been carried out.
All true
Implementation of the enhanced supervisory role is expected in Autumn 2005, this will provide a clear definition regarding the scope of LAE responsibilities, including renaming of the grade as \'Maintenance Supervisor\' to differentiate from other certifying grades who are licence holders. The supervisory function will provide team leadership and technical guidance to less experienced maintenance staff, and will ensure that all activities are certified at the appropriate level by the staff involved in maintenance tasks. Formally recognising the supervisory level as part of the management of maintenance activity will also provide a defined line of communication between hangar management and staff performing tasks on the aircraft.
