I am reluctant to pass judgement on you (especially after some of the posts on here) but 'irresponsible' seems to rings a bell. Do you fly with a crew and are you the captain? If so, then don't you feel that you have duty of care to the rest of your crew?
To openly admit that you fly an aircraft with those kind of problems every day is the most absurd thing I think I have ever read here. To brush them off as a 'nothing' is crass stupidity.
Winco,
If you bothered to read back over his posts you would realise that he is a current Nimrod mate
Yes - our AC have leaks.
No - We don't ignore them as nothing, as has been previously stated they are all assessed on an individual basis.
No - We don't let our 'stupidity' cloud our better judgement and climb aboard an unsafe AC.
I have nearly 5000Hrs on type and in all my time the AC have always had a fuel leak/seep map. Trust me I wouldn't fly if I had serious doubts and at the moment I'm happy to earn the wage I'm paid by flying on the old girl.
Please Winco, stop the personal attacks or if you are unable take it elsewhere.
Regards to All,
DA
