Mighty Hunter AGE: I would like to refer you back to your posting # 1001 in which you state;
So DV what you are saying then is that the MU is not doing its job properly? That jets are being sent up with fuel leaks that are not being rectified.
The answer to that, in XV230's case, is YES. Came in with 12 fuel leaks, went out with 7 remaining. Why - Need the a/c, civilian contract, penalty clauses, must get it out when MoD require it.
Give us the benefit of your vast scheduling policy experience.
Well as someone who helped to formulate scheduling policy for Nimrod, I am probably a little more experienced than a "Crew Chief". I have seen Equalized maitenance in other forms; "Day Group Servicing, Progressive Servicing etc". But the bottom line is that when an a/c is sent in for servicing with ADD's, that the flight line does not have time to clear, then they are cleared during that servicing. If not, when will they be cleared.
