DV & Engines,
I wanted to correct the direction that I think the thread was heading - towards the shop floor and Line maintenance. This isn't about them.
I apologise for my sharp language - I never learnt proper english or studied diplomacy - so I am quite blunt in everything I write. And I have no respect for 'rank' anymore. I've seen too many wasters in life to worry about their status or feelings. I normally speak straight from the gut.
Whilst a great many Ppruners are evidently smarter than me I have no time for those that show an inordinate amount of ignorance of maintenance and Continued Airworthiness (don't confuse them with Airworthiness - I'm not that clever) considering their direct effect on day-to-day flying.
You should read what I write when I really mean business.
