Sad part will be for the crew when the management points the finger to them as the blame, then tries to deduct the costs from their salary as they have done many times in the past.
No safety margins at Midex.
Thrust reverser or similar problems would be locked out with no log book entry or DMI.
Reason they would give in the past is a Cat C,,10 day item,,Maintenance does not have the parts to repair it and clear the DMI within the allotted time.
With the plane AOG company makes no money,
So end result crews not allowed to write up the items, if you do then management starts the threats and intimidation game, some have even been terminated for this such as an A300 Captain 2 years ago.
GCAA should look a bit closer at this,take off those rose colored glasses and see what really goes on there.
