And a reasoned and educated response you will get. We will start with your so called facts.
FACT - Completely untrue - There have been no reported issues either through Safety Management Systems or AQD - All non engineering staff are trained by engineers and are bound by the same training rules and regulations as the engineers.
There have been a number of reported issues, don't lie and say there haven't been.
AME on tarmac in Mel walks past aircraft and notices a flat wheel. Required both on truck to be changed. Upon investigation pilot verbalised that he had noticed some pull to one side on his flight out of Launy but there was no engineer to report it to in mel.
Flt arrives in Drw, teenage baggage handler takes receipt, pax and crew get off, torrential downpour floods fwd galley and cockpit because he wasn't aware that the door should be closed. Engineer arrives some time later and notices the water pooled in areas such as the cockpit. reported? you bet. Engineer had his leave cancelled and ordered to Bne to explain why he had an argument with the outgoing crew because he wanted to delay the flt to check the viability of the electronic equip.
Flt Per-Adl. On arrival damage to fuse noticed that had been caused by ground equip most likely as it was being removed on previous dept.
I have reported a number of other issues directly to management at EA meetings.
