Jet II...
I completely agree with the culture change requirement. However, it isn’t going to happen. Recently we cut the amount of (Area) Maintenance Managers from around 14 to 4 (not including the USA... but that’s another story). What an opportunity, you may think, to root out the poor managers! Well it only half worked; we've now got 2 of the best guys in the company out there working to keep us safe and 2 of the biggest Oxygen Thief’s to keep them company. One of them is the afore mentioned Roman stamper!
This then shows that, now that the die is cast, the company not only encourages people to sign aircraft without the proper authorisations, it rewards them by picking them over better qualified and better suited managers.

Thanks for the kind words. This time next year there will only be 44 of us. We are to become extinct, I think. Swallowed up by the larger organisation. Because there are so few of us Chirp and MOR just doesn't hold the same job security feelings that it, no doubt, has for other groups
. Sorry.
Good luck
