As all other airlines, BA have a swath of paperwork required by the ANO and EU legislation eventually filtering down via proceedures and work instructions to describing "what should be done" and "how it should be done". All this information is promugulated by the company to satisfy the CAA. But when it comes to trying to comply with these proceedures, it can be neigh on impossible to comply. In the end you knowingly flout the rules to enable the task to be completed in a timely fashion.
Wow thats a hell of a statement to place on a public forum.
Would it not be more prudent to discuss issues like that with your management, or use the company SMS procedures.
