inspections required per an Mel. Station had no idea it needed to be done and delayed 30min waiting for maintenance to show up to do it because it was contracted. Not talking about a service check or the old Ron/10day
point was it’s a song and dance and it’s not always the same occurrence. But rather it’s frequently something. Problem with fuel numbers, an Mel, an alternate a maintenance issue that should have been addressed but wasn’t, etc. I’d say every month I run into at some kind of issue at least twice a month where something was very much over looked and fell through the cracks.
