did you know, speaking of ground personell, that the outstations only have 5-10 min to look over the plane and identify missing parts or damage and if something is subsequently found theyre responsible. Some stations are hard core, and honestly in a good way, at finding stuff.

But we found out the hard way that the catalog of dents on the airframe are oddly wipped away after painting but of course the dents are not. So a proactive station found them, reported them and we were grounded for an hour and a half as the contract mx guy had to first get there and then do a 7 page checklist on the multiple painted over dents. Thats not an out station issue, thats a mx records issue and hopefully, hopefully, was just this one plane.

just a fwiw.
