I think it is terrible the way things are going, loss of lots of Engineering jobs and loss of LAME preflights, glad I am now retired and away from it all.
This sort of thing went on for all the 40 odd years I was in the Industry, but NOT if it was written up.
We had aircraft every day go up say to ROK-MKY-ROK and back to BNE with no defects then have many written up on return to BNE.
Often used to even get aircraft arrive from MEL via SYD (a major base) and have many defects logged into BNE, if you asked the Pilots what SYD said they would usually say we did not bother telling them as they would not do anything.
Not QF, the other mob.
