STC
I've worked all over this globe, and "little man syndrom" is very common. Before you try to give sugestions or place blame, or come to conclusions you have absolutly no idea about, you should leave your sand box before you try to mingle with people in a worldly forum.
As to the confidential reporting, I know many of my peers that have no faith in the Canadian system, because too often if a problem comes out into the light, there is an inspector that wants to climb the ladder to the next rung, and you will be held acountable. I have a friend who spent a fair bit of cash to defend himself over a case of a crack in a wing fitting on a small piston banger, that he did the annual on. The a/c had been sold to a school, been ground looped twice, and had had three annuals since my buddy did his on the a/c. When the a/c was getting the last repair from the last incident, behind a riveted panel they had found a cracked wing fitting, and this particular TC inspector blamed my buddy for not picking it up on his annual.
It is funny how I found out this story from him, because I was telling him about the trouble I was having with TC at the time. Then he tells me about his, and another guy we were drinking with told me about his problems. So for such a small industry, you don't have to go far to find people who have had a problem with TC. This can only lead me to the conclusion that eventualy the common guy will end up with a problem with TC. So for STC not to have had a problem with TC, leads me to think he has led a very sheltered career. And I don't remember too many people saying that they only had problems with TC when they yell or try to get away with something.
I have very rarely had the same interetation of the CARS or the old ANO's or Regs from 2 different inspectors. So it isn't hard to start a problem by asking for clarification. If you want a problem with TC, just ask for clarification from one inspector, and then get a second opinion from another, and before you know it you will be in the dung.
Oh I kind of take offence to you making fun of other posters names by using a pun. Grow up. You are only showing how stupid you are.
