I could only remind our Captains. If it breaks, write it up. DON'T blindside the next Crew.
Keep in mind that Swift management's decision to buy old airplanes may have helped to get the company going, but the decision to not buy PARTS, EQUIPMENT, and hire good Mechanics to keep them flying will cause the company to fail. Look at DMI's for instance. They will stay on the books until the last hour, then functional check normal. Next flight it's written up again, and it goes for the next time period.
I have been told by our MX, we don't have enough people, parts, or equipment to do our jobs. Can't continue this way and expect to remain in business for the long term.
