I have read this until I finally have to write and agree with cockney steve that the skill that we had (I am another old LAE) is being lost. You are signing for it and
its your choice after taking all the facts on board. I have been in places where they didn't even have oil for the systems so you had to rob peter to pay paul from another system! I know the CAA think we old guys thought we were fireproof but we cared very very much about what we did and I for one always made the right choice, some I got home some stayed a few days but It was up the the LAE to make that call.
Keep them up boys
Peter
