, means absolutely nothing, at all- ever, for time eternity, ask the Regulator.....
They don't get a vote.......... Ever, Not Once, Never Have- tis the LAW- it's a hindsight profession and Never Has/or Ever Will create Revenue or Go Forward, or Make An Aeronautical Judgement (because, they are NOT QUALIFIED.....), and how the balance has 'Apparently' shifted, should it be the case.
Tell that to the blokes who have been docked 28 hours pay for such indiscretions as;
-changing a wheel beyond AMM limits
-underestimating rectification hours for a defect
-writing up supposedly defective cockpit doors
-taking 10 minutes to get ready in the morning
-writing up supposedly defective seatbelts beyond AMM limits
It has become a toxic company for work for that sunstate, management can decide if you have been carrying out unprotected industrial action and they 'must' fine you 4 hours pay for each indiscretion.
So when some bloke has real life bills to pay and real life mortgages and real life medical expenses, whats could possibly be the case if he decides he doesn't want a part of it and looks the other way to something. I'm not saying they will, I and everyone else who flies on aircraft certainly hope not, but adding another, financially punitive action to doing what you're employed and legislated to do at the total 100% discretion of management who at odds with an EA wage claim... who are the winners ?
Testing ground for upcoming EA disputes with the mainline perhaps ?
