Yes a lot of stuff we have to do is BS. I've stated that before. Like I have to put down IAW c421mm 32-10-05. That's bs. Not going to help anything. There is a lot of bs but then there is a lot that isn't.
Dose it matter. Yes it dose. I don't tell a heart surgeon how to do his job. But people think they can do ours. I loved to get some off you and put you in the hot seat when the px on. Have 4 different aircraft in the one day with different problems.
It's easy to be an expert at one subject. How ever we don't just do one thing. We don't sit down and have a chance to look at super dooper gauge with all the bells and whistles in fact 99.9% of aircraft don't even have them.
To have someone that thinks he would know more about trouble shooting an aircraft engine problem that has no aviation qualifications just shows the contempt he has. No wonder there are no lames. But hey you all can do it it's easy.
