Further to today's notice, it is worth pointing out that if we want to accurately record our hours worked, every hour you spend on a check has to be recorded against that check. If you get to the end of the day and have to add hours to your MXI timesheet, you have failed to record all of your hours worked. The way they are modelling their manpower is by extrapolating the hours allocated to each check and from this, calculating how many people they need. They are not looking at time sheet data that is inaccurate as we all know.
If you doubt this, dig into one of the LAX checks next time you get a chance. Air Nair allocate hours to everything from tows on/off bay to connecting ground power, even installing door nets. And where is the only growing port right now?
With all due respect Short Circuit, what you said makes no sense. Just make sure you allocate 11 hours a day to aircraft checks and you will get the desired result.
