Firstly I have known Alan for a number of years and can again only say he is a great Engineer
Its an outrage that this witchhunt went this far , over the last 35 years , I have seen switches left in the wrong position from crew rushing off to Hotels or Home, 1000s of times , even a crew leaving an aircraft with the no 2 engine still running .
At least on 3 occasions the FLT/GND switch selected by crew to the wrong position - SELECTED !!!
How can the industry tolerate legal action against the Engineers - the very people who stop accidents before they happen on a daily basis , for doing nothing wrong
So how can any engineer ever fill out any incident , delay or technical report without legal caveats , in fact every tech log entry would need a legal caveat .
Given the unbelievable stupidity of some crew entries in the tech log just how could some of them ever be certified ?
Someone in Greece needs to look up negligence in the dictionary - this was not negligence
If we can be blamed for aircrew going wrong or poor crew systems knowledge
- We are all going to need seriously good lawyers!!
