I do't wish to enter into a slanging match and I am operating off both first and second hand experiences here.
A very recent conversation with a QF LAME who had extensive periods "liasing" in two off shore MRO's of QF's choosing was aghast at some of the practices he saw and had to have corrected before allowing the job to continue.
He says he lost count of the number of times he had to summons the local Quality representative to right the wrongs and in his words the local tradesmen, invaribly not licensed, would appear to not even know of or use the standard practices as set out in the AMM's.
So I'll agree with some of the other various posts on this site that SOME of the MRO's leave a lot to be desired with SOME of their respective maintenance practices rather than blanket statment that they are all as bad as one another.
And I am in no way suggesting that the latest incident on QF72 was off shore MRO related, lets wait for the investigation to be completed.
