So who does preflt inspections on VBA aircraft ?
Pilots, engineers or baggage handlers ?
If it was a corroded axle, who would be most qualified to pick it up before the aircraft left the gate, the pilot, an engineer or a baggage handler?
Seems to me that with a 30 to 45 min turnaround, a pilot would have lots of pilot stuff to do, and a baggage handler would have lots of baggage handling stuff to do.
Preflt takes a good 10 to 15 mins including refuelling.
I think Mr P of the ALAEA has a very good point
