After reading the above, we still do not know the whole story, was the engineer told the full story or was he just asked to recert a repaired component?. As I've aways said the jockeys are paid for something that might never happen and we are paid less than car mechanics to know an degreed engineers job, call me cynic but its true.
We are all in the same boat, keeping the flying public safe and the jockeys too, but the poor old engineer is treated like a second class citizen and payed as such.
I hope the engineer's rights and judgement isn'ts going to effect the public image of the industry as the media does...
