My personal motto is: "Assumption is the mother of all fu
ups!!!!!"
I trust all my fellow workers whether it is a engineer/ pilot/ paramedic/ sister/ doctor/crewman etc. I however know how many times I thought I did something/forgot to do something/ plainly made a mistake. Busy with preflight and the paramedic asks about a flight/ somebody wants to schedule a meeting/ somebody comes to say hallo. Nobody will convince me they never had a destraction while doing preflight/ a engineer doing maintenance/ medical crew replenishing etc. I am sorry, but the only thing I have is extra eyes=prevention. I do not mind, and in effect by us it is part of procedure, for the med crews to walk around the aircraft again after start waiting for the stabilisation period just for incase. I have engineers insisting on a check after 1 did balancing adjustments and another duplicate inspection. WHY? Because we can and all of us sometimes see what we want to see!!!!! Why not take the lifesaving extra min/2 at the most
