I would like to ask both of you (Mrmagoo and Terry) a very Basic question???? Do you have B777s on your License???? Do you work on B777s with Pratts????
If you have......help the guy if you know something which he doesnt ........if you dont........you know the answer to that one......
I am sure guys who work on the newer Aircraft Types come across defects which are not mentioned anywhere in the AMM or a FIM......the Maintrol doesnt have a clue.....the Tech specialist doesnt help you....the manufacturer doesnt even know which bit is playing up........and tell you what.....if
I am stuck in that situation I would not hesitate to ask anyone from other side of the world who operates the same aircraft Type!!! I will not sign it as " Released to service IAW
www.pprune .org"..........but tell you what....I will give it a go.......
Because its professional not to CARRY A CHIP ON THE SHOULDER or think OH I KNOW EVERYTHING.........because the people who say that or think like that.......either havent lived......or dont go out and do any work.......
I dont know which company or which airlines you 2 work for........but you guys do give the impression of " Oh I know everything because I can read it in the AMM or FIM"......I tell you something......even a unskilled tradesman or a school student can go and read the book and go work on the aircraft exactly the way its written in the book.
the skill lies in doing the troubleshooting which isnt mentioned anywhere.....I am sure I have seen so many of your types who go on Boasting to everyone yeah I am the ENGINEER, only because I can read the book........but when any problem appears which isnt mentioned anywhere......then you guys run away leaving it for the next Shift or the other guys to sort it out.........
So please if you cant help someone directly.......dont come up with useless replies and just dont try to be idealistic.......because idealists dont exist in the real world..........atleast show some professional etiquette!!!
And Sungyoung.......dont get put off with some useless people putting useless replies here........I am sure there are people who can help with some real problems!!!
