Who is ripping you off?
Please dont aim your wrath at the wrong target, this Part M has been forced on the Maintenance companys by the CAA (& goverment) who insist that the UK goldplates EU legislation and follows it to the letter.
Someone has to pay for all this extra paper work and approval charges that has been forced on us from on high, the options if you run a maintenance business is to go with the new system and pass the cost on to the customer or to go out of business.
The Maintenance busness is stuck between the CAA who have found a way of charging more for doing less work and the customer who is having to pay for more paperwork that has no benifit whatsoever to him.
