Director of Maintanence at it again
Good 'ol Al is up to it again.. HZ-SNF had a split flap problem the other day, where the flap gauge was sticking.. With this paticular gauge sends a signal to the flaps causing a split problem.. The crew wanting to get back to Bahrain rather than sleep in Bagdad pulled a circuit breaker only as a fix to get back home.. When reported to maintenance, the on duty acting supervisor downed the plane simply because DHL carries no spare parts, and has to order them from the states.. Mr. Al approached the supervisor and said if the crew pulled the breaker the first time, why can't they continue to do it until the parts arrive.. This is not a rumor, the supervisor told us this himself.. Of course the supervisor told him in so many words to go pound sand.. I guess idiots never learn. By the way 9 mechanics have already handed in their resignations along with 8 pilots.. Of course DHL is not as big as Gulf air, but to scale that amount is really going to hurt.
