Lab Queen,
I pretty much tried to say the same thing re. all the checks and work being done just recently, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears.
I genuinely believe there are those on here (and I'm not trying to start a slagging match!) that just do not want to listen unless what is said suits their own personal beliefs and agendas, hence the conversation goes round in circles with counterpoints and arguments and gets nowhere
Look at the recent suspension of one of the forum users - now, I'm not saying that I agree with all of what was said but I certainly didn't think it was bad enough to warrant the action taken, just because it didn't "toe the party line". It inferred one persons beliefs and as such that person surely has the right to express themselves just as much as some others on this forum, whether others agree with what he/she says or not?
NO-ONE at ISK wants to see an aircraft take to the skies in anything less than a safe condition to do so, certainly from the groundcrew side. But then what do groundcrew know, they are mostly ignored and trodden on or totally disrespected by the majority of commissioned officers, those same officers who refuse to believe what they are told by experienced groundcrew (in many cases, in the mistaken belief that a university degree gives them superior knowledge to a highly experienced techie -
with specialist qualifications - who has been doing the job for many years!), then they suddenly put up their umberella's when something goes wrong!
