Mite I also add, Hammer, is it cost effective to have aircraft serviced at "cheaper" facilities only to be grounded on return for corrective maintenance to be carried out?
As stated above, torque tubes not lock wired, others include galleys not bolted down properly, staples in emergency light wiring, additional hours required in heavy maintenance to rectify major corrosion that should have been blended on a previously outsourced check?
Or is that just us bad expensive Aussie engineers "gold plating"? Are you suggesting we turn a blind eye as seems to have been the case with the "cheaper" providers?
