Being discouraged and upset with the challenges and obstacles that arise is understandable, but we must remember compliance is the top priority when it comes to signing-off the work that has been performed. DO NOT utilize any short-cuts or work-arounds to get the job done. The burden of this system’s fallacies rests with the Company, not the AMFA members that have been forced to endure the frustration that has been created. While the Company continues to attempt to correct the issues that have been identified, remain vigilant in uncovering anything that may compromise the integrity of compliance. The Company has issued numerous Know Before Fix notices via Read and Signs to ensure that those MXi program shortcomings are addressed, thereby increasing the information load to the end users.
