Remember once being asked whilst at the sim if I would mind sitting in as the eng for a foreign company to get all their crews up to date. 5 crews one two hour sim slot......I declined the offer did not want anything to do with it.
Who are the crews that are flying these aircraft, as Earl says where are they getting their checks done. Regard to the other checks, they will be given a paper check and sent on their way. Sad end to a very well loved aircraft.
