In answer to the rumour - No it is not true that 6 or any LAMEs have been stood down for damaging aircraft.

6 LAMEs have been stood down for writing defects into the Tech log snagging the cockpit doors. The company claim they have been looking in areas of the aircraft for defects when they had not been instructed to look there.

Just think about that concept for a while, we couldn't believe it when they gave them the letters.

The doors had been reported at least a month earlier by Tech Crew on SORs and ASIRs. No action was taken to fix the problem until the 6 LAMEs snagged them in the Tech Logs. Mods now underway.
