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 -
Rigga, there is no need to apologise. I know it has nothing to do with shop floor and line maintenance, the problem comes from further up the chain of command; much further up. The same people were involved in Nimrod and Tornado, and the net is starting to close.
