How much of this crap is being fueled by the Engineers Union who are hot after a pay increase. I don't have a problem with this, these blokes spend many a unpleasant night hanging off a airframe or engine, often in lousy WX ,adding to that, their long periods of study to stay current with types they service. But the reality is continue to damage the brand is going to cause long term effects, and the "nervous nellies" are going to look elsewhere for their trip to Thailand or wherever. They have no idea that this stuff going thru the press is everyday stuff that happens in Aviation all over the world and means little in the large scale of things. So lighten up fellas, keep the press out of such mundane items, and keep plugging away for your increase, but use a little discretion in what you feed to the journos.
