[QUOTE]BA engineering management are preparing to unpacify engineering approvals for engineering management staff ahead of any further action by engineering. Their approvals were pacified in accordance with JAA regulations due to the fact that they do not have recent experience on type[/QUOTE
This is an old BA tactic to break any industrial action, it also appears that the flight crews will be told from Monday not to put any defects in the book. Remember it was an Engineering manager who fitted the flight deck window that blew out on the 1-11!
I have just sat through 2 days of training on Human Factors, which apparently the CAA is getting very interested in due to the rise in maintenance related accidents, but as soon as I return to the office, the company start implementing strategy's that are designed to make the situation worse.
It never ceases to amaze me (I am pretty naive) that the CAA do not take any action over the undermanning issues, false numbers of staff on duty, etc. etc.
