Maybe my expectations for government are too high. But, there is reasoning for that.
In my industry, the maintenance manual is paramount in maintaining an airworthy machine.
There is always an answer. It’s very black and white. It is either good, or it is bad. There are very defined limits. There are precise tolerances. The job requires much attention to detail. Most of what is not guaranteed to be good or bad, requires an experienced technician to use their judgment.
What is judgment? It can be defined in many ways, but when I think of judgment, I think of it being a decision you make based on what you’ve seen happen before. You’ve trended it. Maybe in the log book there is a repeat discrepancy. Maybe over several different airframes owned by different customers, they are seeing very similar issues.
The book doesn’t tell you how to handle those things. It is written for a perfect world scenario.
The in-between is a decision made by an individual with extensive knowledge of what happens if you neglect the middle ground and what the machine is telling you. It’s writing its own story. It’s telling you what it doesn’t like, based on how it’s been treated.
Let’s be honest, nothing is ever perfect. Not even aviation. But, you can strive for 99.9 percent.
This is something your government is not doing.
This is why I feel more than qualified to represent you. I posses the attention to detail. I have the integrity to defend you, even when it’s doesn’t benefit me the most. I’ve done it many many times in the last 20 years. Actually, I’ve lost several jobs over it. But, I still go home and sleep peacefully at night.
I know good and bad. But, it’s the middle ground you have to worry about. What will your representative do when the call is tough and they are required to use their judgement? Will they abandon you and your rights for their self enrichment or an accolade to make themselves look better?
Remember the machine theory? Think of the machine as your government.
The constitution is the manual. There is good and there is bad. But, the story your government is telling you, requires a judgment call. Sometimes it requires a tough decision.
The representatives are what we have trended. It’s telling us what is wrong with it. We know how to fix it, but will we have the courage to step up, go the extra mile and take on the task while the machine is already down for other repairs?
The call is yours. You know what to do, because you’ve read the manual. You’ve trended the issue, and it keeps repeating itself. The answer is clear. In fact, it could not be more clear. The only way to fix it now, is to replace the problem part (your politicians).
It’s a tough job. No one wants to do it. It’s the worst job on the machine. But, it has to be done.
May 19th is the day that you return your government to being worthy. The day you tell the machine that it is (wo)Man who built it, and it is (wo)Man who will see that it is properly restored.
