Just a couple of days ago, a mechanic, not known for his .....er, common sense, shall I say, tried to admonish me personally for writing up the cockpit access door, which would not even stay closed, let alone lock, because we were in JFK, and the FAA might see it, and ground the airplane.
But he's one of those chaps who fixes airplanes with a ballpoint, on more than one occasion!
The secondary lock still, after many attempts to get adjusted, did not properly engage in the door frame fitting.
When I mentioned the fact that they had cut away a very long section of the rubber door seal when the secondary lock was fitted, I was confronted with shrugged shoulders.
They were not aware of the 'smoke shield' requirement to be retained by the door, amateurs all, me thinks!
Cheers
