YrRight,
I am not attacking LAMEs.
There are good and bad LAMEs and Good and Bad operators and good and bad aircraft owners.
As an operator, one of the things spurring me to own my own aircraft was the fact many aircraft owners are dead****s looking for the cheapest nastiest solution to everything. The aircraft would end up under lien from the MRO or awaiting parts on stop credit from the owner... then I would bail out the aircraft to get it flying and hey presto the owner takes it elsewhere and it ends up in the same cycle.
Attacking everyone is not going to help the industry.
Blaming CASA is not going to help the industry.
If the hamburger shop you go to makes crappy burgers, you gotta either
1/. Make do with crappy burgers or
2/. find a better burger shop.
Every service industry is the same and I have paid lots of money for bad maintenance... but ended up going elsewhere and buying a better burger.
If we give bad service, the customers stop coming. You can't blame the customer.
Cheers
