What are you trying to achieve here? Are companies ignoring LAME directives? Is that the problem you're trying to address?
You bet there is a problem we are trying to address. At one airline and their subsiduries its like this in Engineering. If you do aircraft transit checks at a terminal say on average 8 per day and in the time you find on average 8 things wrong and delay one aircraft. You are compared to another who does 8 per day, never finds anything wrong and never causes a delay.

In days gone by the bloke who found things wrong was deemed a good LAME and eventually promoted. Now the bloke who finds nothing wrong is a hero, he is promoted and teaches his methods to the new kids. Turn a blind eye mate, that's what got me the Foreman job.

The guy who finds things wrong is under constant scrutiny from the idiot Foreman and Manager. They talk about him and ways to prevent him finding things wrong with aircraft. They make his life difficult and constantly promote the inexperienced at the expense of the good LAME. This crap has gone on in many Qantas departments for the last ten years,that's why the place is a mess. It needs to stop and a having reports deidentified will benefit many.

It may also add weight to your reports. I don't know if you are a rampy maybe, you report a manager who uses a mobile phone on tarmac. They would have to address it and wouldn't know if you are a Rampy, Pilot or LAME.
