I am going to take a brave leap here......but..........here goes!

your comments about a known dodgy piece of fairly important equipment that you knew about and others may have also, make me sick.
This young lady lost her life and someone lost an a/c, all because the plane was not grounded by YOU and or others who also did not have the guts to do so.
Maybe I am being a bit harsh here, and apologies if I am out of line, but really, how would you feel being handed a potentially dangerous piece of equipment and not know about its flaws and particularly if its an aircraft!
If my suspicions are correct, I feel sorry for you because it must be hard to sleep at night.
Was this ever written up on the MR? If you did report it, the problem is not yours.......but the fact it was known is not something you expect to end like this.
