A and C
I'm glad you realised that I was'nt talking "cr*p" with regard to your selective use of quotations from my last message.It appears that you elected to omit the key word of the statement, that being "many".Many does not mean all!
I have no qualms over the cost & quality of the 'majority' of work which is carried out here in the U.K,and I have certainly never compromised safety with regard to AD's etc...
My comments stemmed not from the actual maintenance done,but from being blatantly ripped off, for example:-
-Being told on a 50 hr that my battery needed replacing due to a "dropped cell".Innocently I forked out for a new one,only by pure chance to see my 'old' one (A/C Reg wrote on it)two years later in another aircraft which was also maintained by the same "maintenance outfit",naughty,naughty.
-Again on delivery for a 50hr the tanks had been filled,however on collection there was barely 1/4 tanks remaining,this loss was put down to extensive ground running,it was also a coincidence that the tacho had accumulated only 20mins!!!!What time is the next Banana boat due?
Those where only my personal reasons which led towards my original statement,however in listening to conversations across the country there are many more similar tales being told!
It appears that you are very fortunate in being involved with reputable organisations,however corruption occurs in all walks of life,aviation maintenance is no different!
