SNOOZE
You have the advantage over me!Yes, we did have a squeaky clean operation as far as Engineering and other C.A.A. matters were concerning - pity about the lack of £££!!
Perhaps if we had cut a few corners, too???
Despite most of the replies on this thread make bad reading, I have to say that I do agree to a chat with the Engineers prior to Log entry on some occasions.
We had a Rookie F.O. who thought he saw a split second over-torque. The Capt. (one of those guys who thought he should be a 74 skipper) logged it and the aircraft was out of service for something like 3 weeks. That effectively finished the route the aircraft was operating and contributed heavily to our downfall.
The engineers believed the problem to be related to instruments. Indeed, the engine was obviously stripped and no fault found.
