Now I know many of us are familiar with the odd duct-tape joke as engineers frequently carry it in their toolkit to be used for a number of eventualities.
The Sun newspaper is running a report today about an Easyjet flight where the pilot announced to passengers that one of the engines of the aircraft was receiving a "quick fix" before the flight.
I don't for a minute question the safety of the flight as I am sure the "quick fix" was perfectly legitimate and was probably suggested in the engineers manual. I do find it bizarre that crew allow this kind of thing to take place whilst passengers are on-board the aircraft where they are able to watch engineers rolling the tape onto the engine.
However safe this might be, to a dis-concerning passenger this kind of action is extremely unsettling.
