Bolty ...What The?
You toy with semantics.
You in engineering dont know half of what is going on as half the time some hold items have been there for over 14 days.So either you dont see the aircraft,cant fix the problem or dont have the spares or dont know how to fix the problem.
I live on these things...you visit them once in awhile.
Get with the programme....I like to work on an aircraft where everything works(as do the pax).
As one individual you inspect aircraft randomly..you dont see them all.Aircraft tend to be route specific.Work on a particular route you see the same a/c...with the same problems week after bloody week.
BTW OJK had the 4 aft toilets RS for 10 days...how many sectors is that?
I have no input into malfunctions except to report them.
I have no tools since I am not allowed to carry them onboard.
I blame no one except management for these failings
