Airlines now have mechanical engineers repairing jets? Wow, talk about cost cutting/lean/six sigma!

Hope they're better trained than one mechanical engineer who came into the quality lab asking to borrow a micrometer. I pointed to a rack that contained a number of micrometers, the usual 0-1"s and a variety of sizes up to 11-12", plus some other gages.

He promptly picked up 0-6" dial calipers and left. Hope meaningful readings of .0001" weren't an issue.
