I have a feeling any responses here will be from the airline guys, but looking for any input on this.
Do other people get roped into doing these and signing them off when doing 135/121 post-Mx ops? If so, how does the process work for you. It's a bit of sticking point for some of the pilots I work with (notably, the Navy guys) as to how or even what it is exactly we're signing off and after hearing of a pilot getting written up (but apparently not fired) after missing something, it irritates me even more when having to do them.
The main issue is we're essentially doing a QA check, despite not having any applicable Mx training and no ATAF documentation. And what's the point of the ATP having a license if he's not held accountable for the work he's doing?
I feel a rant coming on, so I'll stop, but anyone care to share their thoughts?
