GE 90, we are all well aware of the requirement to enter defects, go back and read the earlier posts here. The whole point of this thread is to highlight the pressure a maverick (name deleted) company might put on its employees to ignore these professional requirements for fear of a P 45. If the company employs engineers as well as pilots then they too are subject to the "comply or leave" philosophy, just as much.
As I said previously those in the extremities of their careers are less likely to kick up over this kind of scam, indeed those entirely new to the business may well leave such a (name deleted) company thinking this is the way aviation is run, and how could they possibly know better? What a sick intro to aviation is that?
I respectfully suggest that we are not implying "merely" delaying the entry of odd defects until "convenient", we are talking the wholesale and widespread denial of the existance of numerous defects on a continuous basis over a long timespan, ie multiple serial failures to record defects.
That is why I think this kind of practice is so utterly unacceptable, and I hate to see it being advertised on this forum. It needs to be eradicated. It has no place in Professional aviation.
GE 90, if you think this scenario is far fetched, think again. It exists, believe me, and I know of P45s to prove it. It may be remote from Gatwick, but you'd better believe it exists.
