When you have Managers who are rewarded for good TDR (tech dispatch rate) by cash and other means that are connected by contact/control of working Engineers the lines will get a little blurred.
In the old days, many Managers had required licience cover on the aircraft to just pop their details on any paperwork as they saw fit.
Of late, many Managers don't have required licience cover on the aircraft, so they can try to apply pressure to working engineers, so work it out for yourself.
Of interest, just watched the news about a 747 flying low around NYC with a Mill Jet following, a mistake they say, more interest to me is how many people where aware of this mission and for whatever reason were unable stop it !!! Would like to think some raised it may cause a problem, but who knows !!!
