Let me perfectly clear, everyday is a judgment call . Sometimes you can make it good. Other times during intense contract negotiations , you are totally pissed off, the plane doesn't fly, because you follow everything by the book. The American guys know what I am talking about.
This is the definition of 100% compliance
This is not the definition of 100% compliance
Whatever Foot we all know how it works in the real world when it's not contract time.
We invited the disaster on ourselves, you see when Lee Saham and your union encourages you to call the FAA on your employer, and file whistle blower lawsuits, trying to force a contract. You invited the government into your business from negotiations to oversight, so once the government is involved they love to dig, and next thing you know they control the process. Especially when people worked like it was the wild west, and now they can't. I know all about compliance. I hope you are happy with the new reality at SWA, congratulations! 🙂
I would hope your following the book every day with every a/c, not just as you want to select, C'mon man...
I do don't want to lose my license. But you can't complain about the new reality, and then suddenly we are compliant.
Then you guys are ahead of the game, and I congratulate your maintenance department. We are good, but we used to sign the log books off IAW AMM, with the code with a two digit ref. Then we actually needed a six digit ref. We had all done things hundreds of times from a tire change, to changing hydraulic filters, to oil or changing an O 2 bottle. We all know as mechanics how to do our jobs. However when our contracts get tough, we also know to work more diligent.
