Get it in writing if someone says it does not matter that something is not working. That way your widow can know who to sue.......................
Used that one before... amazing how the attitude changes...
From a previous company I will never work for again, I was told EC had given us the go ahead on a damaged rotor blade... When we asked for the confirmation in writing we were told that it would be sent. Needless to say, it never came........and that was the last job I did for the company!!!
