TurboOtter,
Are you telling me engineers know which pilots are not so smart and which ones are. "I don't know why it caught on fire, I thought he was one of the smart ones"!
I say tie wrap it if needed make sure relevant paper work is complete and don't touch unless advised by engineering. Who's to say you're right!
I once heard a LAME say "I'm the F*^%$%G engineer you're the F*#%$&*G pilot"
Just out of interest how many pilots fly the same aircraft as you?
