Good advice FMU,
all LAMES should make themselves familiar with the QEPM. 3-10-25 covers certification. Suggest anyone supervising specialist maintenance such as composites or the like take a particular interest in this work, it may take a very long time for a LAME who is unfamiliar with these processes to satisfy himself and you may have to ask a lot of questions to satisfy yourself. I do not believe that there will be many takers for scab positions particularly ex HM LAMEs. If we do have to deal with theese people then again the internal procedures within QE such as Form 500 and Cross reports also CAIR or its sucessor within CASA could be used to deal with any and all transgressions these people who will be unfamiliar with the way in which we work may make particularly if there is no motivation for the current staff to show these people the error of their ways and watch their backs.
I still believe that the stop work meetings will be the most effective weapon despite some of the concerns raised by other posters.
