Well all this is very interesting but I for one will not be signing any technical log return to service entries without a formal engineering qualification ie: A LICENCE!
If you guys are prepared to lay your nuts on a legal chopping board go right ahead.
This economic rationalisation is getting out of hand. Lets remember that it costs money to run an airline safely and there is no way out of that.
Beancounters and overpaid executives should be held accountable and liable, if god forbid the unthinkable ever happens.
Familiarity breeds contempt something thats lost on the part of airline managers looking to bolster their bonuses each year!
Wake up!!
