<<more probable reporting by the inbound CPT directly to maintenence was what prompted the sending of the tech, therefore no reason whatsoever to report this to the outbound crew.>>
Are you serious? Not reporting to the next crew is, at minimum, negligent, but nevertheless should have been written up in the Tech Log.
I am surprised there are people who do not understand their responsibility in this regard.
Pete has got this one right, not least because if anything did happen you would have a clear conscious, not much consolation, but legally correct.
<<Incidentally the inbound captain was the same "gentleman" that suspends you if you refuse to use discretion.>>
Bigtellyman, discretion is just that, commanders descretion whether or not to continue the duty, it is not enforceable by management. If indeed this is happening in your company you need to speak to your union rep immediately and the 'gentleman' concerned will be the one who is 'suspended'....
