[QUOTE=Hotel8;2167974]The NOIs have already started.
Why would anybody want to be on the wrong end of that mess?
ALPA won't be able to help you, unless you can clearly show that your "technique" was in the best interest of safety.
It's best to just fly it by the book and remember: "Safety First".
Start costing them money unnecessarily, and it is going to draw unwanted attention.[/QUOTE
If you want us to fly it by the book, maybe you should spend some money and invest in your infrastructure. Do you know how many times I get your a/c with incomplete logs because Mx didn't close out a write up, put an expiration date or sign something? Or the number of times I have been the first flight out in the morning and found something wrong with the aircraft that could have been fixed the night before? All causing delays throughout the rest of the day. I won't even get into the underpaid and overworked contract gate agents that don't show up on time or give a crap.
I'll continue to take my time, take pictures, document the time I get the release as well as everything else that is F'd up at this place. If you all want to call me down for an noi, so be it. I can cost you a lot more than you can cost me.
