That's a sign of an unacceptable culture and your SNCO's along with your JNCO's need to grip it fast.What if it was 5 separate individuals consecutively?
Sharp pen action on so many consecutive days!! If your imagination is correct I'd suggest this is not the first time it's happened merely the missing tool has enabled this piece of sharp practice to be spotlighted for the first time. Either there's complacency in the workforce, a flaw in the system being used somewhere, or they are a bunch of bone idle gits who can't be @rsed to do the TC's properly. What springs to mind is oldies passing bad practice onto newbies in the guise of that's how we roll here regardless of what the book or our NCO's say.Lets imagine a tool was lost on a thursday PM, but not noticed till Tues PM. Therefore all the TCs inbetween were penned up.
Pop quiz, what do we all think the current sanction should be for penning up 757s without actually doing a tool check?
And give them what is obviously a much needed career boost to the next rank up.......The offender should be posted immediately to a docs cell, continuous improvement team, lean coordination team or similar non job where they are as far as possible from tools and aircraft.
That'll learn em.
We're the tool checks also subjected to a separate daily independent inspection by a delegated NCO?
Not a requirement of the MAMP.
Cheers. I'll search it out and have a read.Not really, its pretty clear. And available online.
But it clearl states, TC at the start and end of a shift.
Education on Tool Control (was at least in my day) carried out in Phase 2 Training and then as CPD such as Orders, Quality Briefs etc. If they aren't getting it by the time they are around operational aircraft then it's pure laziness in my eyes.
Procedures for missing tools etc again fleshed out by AESO / AERO's which all sign for as having read and understood.
