QAN Shareholder:
The meaning of Take five's post was quite clear, raise defects when you wouldn't have otherwise done so with the objective of disrupting flights. So yes, I do 'seriously consider' this to be a lack of professionalism. With these sorts of tactics you have little hope of getting support from shareholders for your cause.
As you sow, so shall you reap........
Have you ever had your car subjected to a "roadworthy" inspection by the local Police? Do you know that in the absence of anything else, you can always get done for "worn wiper blade rubbers"?
You forget that an aircraft is an assemblage of at least 100,000 parts, and that even a 99.9% reliability rate means that at least Ten parts are broken whenever the aircraft is flying.
Do you really want a LAME to measure the brake pack thickness or tire tread to the nearest thousandth of an inch every time they pull up?
As it is, they put their licenses on the line -
and risk criminal prosecution when they sign an aircraft out as serviceable.
Would you like them to certify an aircraft is serviceable illegally?
I'm waiting for your answer....................
