YR, never a truer word was spoken, and I speak from experience.
Our incompetent regulator is culling experienced, competent engineers and replacing them with Box tickers.
I could very well be dead today, or one of my pilots, or worse one of our customers, but for the eagle eye of experience who spotted something that could have resulted in the ass falling off the airplane, no way I would have seen it, I'm just a pilot, he did, he's an engineer, I do my thing, fly them and try not to break them, he does his thing and covers my ass.
God bless all engineers, our guardian angels!! God's curse on CAsA who's corruption will eventually kill a lot of people.
