Engineering is seen by the bean counters as a constant drain on finance and in the case of a lot of airlines is seen as never making the airline any money just spend spend spend. So you never get any thanks!!
You'll have "x" amount of people on board, aircraft AOG and management leaning on you not to take an engineering delay beacause if affects their bonus. You learn very quick in this game to go home from work with a clear conscience, as you don't want to be having dinner with the wife and kids wondering have I done the right thing or not.
Its all about money and costs to the management and they try to make that your responsibility also.
Alot of the time it can be mundane and uneventful, but then you have to make that decision that pi**es the bosses off (
) and marks your card for years.
But hey at least that Sunday roast was great.
