What does TC do? Unfortunately (and often) the working level inspectors are ignored. Or the 'working level' inspectors are not qualified.
On a recent trip to a very experienced bush helicopter operator, the complaint was that the last TC visit was done by inspectors who were re-badged flight attendants. The main complaint they had was that there was nowhere to stow the briefcases and backpacks that the passengers brought into the rear seats. The inspectors were demanding these things be provided with proper stowages - in the cabin.
