The Bungeyed Bandit & QF MAINT OUTSOURCED
"now here is the best bit about this aircraft OJQ that just had it's D check done,it had a 55 hr structual inspection done in 8hrs overnight while on this check,1 person carried out the structual inspections on 4 pax doors,the wet area of the floor in E zone( TOILET AREA AT THE BACK OF THE AIRCRAFT),and the pressure deck in D zone(structure between the cabin and the landing gear wheel well),and the grand total of 1 defect was raised,this was of coarse done overnight when there was no QF rep around,bearing in mind that the nexted time these areas will be looked at will be 6 yrs,and this current check was not too flash,that will be 12 yrs before this area has a decent inspection.That's if it is done proerly the nexted time."
May I put forward the following reasons this A/C came out of a "D Check" in such a mess:
- Internal Audits at SIAEC are rubber stamped (SIAEC is a money making concern and we don't want to upset the honey cart or lose face do we?).
- External Audits if done by CAAS are also rubber stamped (I'll grease your palm if you grease mine).
- External Audits done by Regulatory Authorities from outside Singapore are well controlled by SIAEC:
- Plenty of notice given when an audit is going to be carried out.
- SIAEC dedicate 2 or 3 "Customer Relations" people to "look after" Outside Authority/Customer Inspectors. (Keep em away from job while we inspect lah). After all, the locals know where the best bars are.
- Keep all those uncontrolled items away from prying eyes.
I hope both of you have unequivocal proof of what you have just claimed here and are willing to put your own name to them because I’m quite sure Pprune have no intention of being hung out to dry when these claims are taken to court which I’m sure they will be. These are very serious accusations to make especially if they are hearsay. And has been said before if a court orders Pprune to disclose your identity, it has no choice but to comply. If as I suspect what is being said here is purely for industrial reasons, you are treading on very dangerous grounds.
And before you go trying to shoot me down, I
“DO NOT” for one minute support outsourcing. It's immoral in my book. But I despise spin even more.
