Qantas engineer fake licence
I seem to remember it stands for "Queensland and Northern Territories Airline Systems".Anyway my point after reading this thread is,does anyone know of JAR 166 approved engineers.??Whilst flying in a "European" outfit,which had a lot a excellent Brit LAE Engineers,the Organisation replaced the line maintenance engineers,that we knew well,with a Car Mechanic Types who seemed to know very little about the aircraft.These were NOT LAE qualified,but had produced work sheets for 5 years on Similar or otherwise Commercial Aircraft,and by Grandfather rights were let loose on our Aircraft,as Approved.They got rid of a lot of the Brit LAEs,and placed one proper LAE looking after up to 4 Aircraft on the Line,with these Jar166 guys doing the work.It caused several problems,especially of an Hydraulic nature,since they were unaware of sequencing valves in the systems,and we had Aircraft U/S with airlocks,taking several hours delay to fix.The Licenced guys ended up doing paperwork in the office,and did not have the time to sort out each and every little problem,that was thrown up by LMC.Does anyone else know of similar,or even if JAR 166 Approvals are now the norm in the rest of Europe???????They may not be fake,BUT it leaves a lot to be desired????????????????????
