I absolutely disagree with deliberate and negligent unsafe practices, however
There are never any however's when it comes to safety mate.
It appears all the "experts" come out of the closet to defend outsourcing to the cheapest MRo when the topic is raised. Funny thing that.
And, as Romulus stated, safety is usually judged by the incidents read in todays papers. What the guys working on the planes (the ones who speak from experience) actually see is a completely different side to the story than the "professionals" who sit in the office. They see aircraft fly in sometimes and wonder how it was legally dispatched from it's last station, incidents on ramp with other operators, etc. These things don't make the papers.
Sure there is a margin of error of all involved in aircraft maintenance. We are all human. But as 600ft-lb pointed out, there are other incidents happening in the airline industry that cannot be attributed to human error. These are the things that you so called experts do not see, or choose to ignore when highlighted.
This thread is way off track.
Agreed. This is usually the case when people post biased opinions.
