Paxboy
As I said in the main 787 thread:
Boeing may have told every carrier and pilot how to operate this machine - but have they explained to every ground crew around the world that this a/c requires handling in a different way?
I might be wrong.
Sorry unable to put this in the correct quote box, but Paxboy what have you got against maintenance, you seem to always have a dig at them. They have at least 100% more knowledge than you, and from my own 45 years as maintenance, will have been trained and have more in depth knowledge of the aircraft than the crews that fly them. This is not to take anything away from the crews, but they do not need the deep knowledge of the systems that techs require to keep the aircraft flying.
