[QUOTE="want to retire, post: 1021966"] This is a no win scenario. We were most likely taught the very same way(feeders). I can promise and guarantee, you are way over inspecting your equipment as far as UPS goes. OK. Now- I didn't say it's not a good idea but UPS will not tolerate the time taken to do this. You will have to prove(by the book)(UPS and DOT) that what you were trained to, do differs and is inadequate, unsafe etc. I guess if you are told not to thoroughly inspect(and ignore it), you could be fired for alot of things-stealing time, not working as directed etc. Have you ever watched a big UPS Boeing preflighted? It's not much, kinda just look at it....see if anything's glaringly loose. This is by the pilots. And yes, if anything goes wrong during your trip, UPS will try to hang it on you.....no win. My advice is to have the Sup. show you exactly the pretrip(get it in writing) and do that. If anything ever happens, you can show the lawyers, BA's and all, how you were trained and so on. From my 32 years........you can pick this fight.........but do you want to spend every second looking over your shoulder? [/QUOTE]
