But oil quantity was never checked by engineers every turnaround on the 737 I don't see what has changed?
Are you sure that it was never checked? FYI I am not 737 licenced just asking, seem to recall checking it myself when under guidance of 737 LAMEs.
If a pilot notices canvas on a tyre he or she will call an Engineer or send a photo to Maintenance Watch and wait to be told "it will be changed tonight".
Do you need to see canvas before those steps are taken? What about the depth of the groove?
Pilots are a conservative bunch, if doubt exists clarification is sought.
I agree totally. 90% of pilots I worked with were fantastic. In 21 years I only ever had an argument with one, he was a dic**ead, even the F/O thought so. Next question.
How many erroneous pilots does it take to bring a plane down?
