Re: Engine Changes

It amazes me to see how much the organisational and management competence has to do with engine change times. I've seen how a crew can rise to the task and change an engine in a fantastic time when they know the spare engine is good and the support is there. They rally and push for a good outcome. On the other hand where management has no idea and allows skeleton engines to sit around and no one gives a stuff about kitting the tools etc the engine changes can take a week. It doesn't take much to discourage people and most smart guys soon learn to work very hard steering clear of being associated with bad events.
