The whole of the NS is at a virtual standstill save for a few flights. The last time we had this, EC issued the 3hr HUMS inspection routine. The companies then realised that you can't do much with a 225 in 3hrs especially if you have rigs in the ESB served from Aberdeen. It was then extended to 4hrs. Technicalities aside, what do you think the customers are thinking? They want to get on with their business but have a workforce, quite rightly, who may not be convinced. We also have a workforce of pilots who, in some cases, have seen three MGB failures in 3 years. It will be extremely interesting to see how this pans out and will give a true reflection on the real ethos of the industry.
