[Amps] Fw: Support For the Bean Pusher

[Robert Bonner]

Bean counter support, yeah!

As a past Airline Pilot I always believed that the bean counters made the
best decisions in our airline too..

Make sure the pilots are unhappy, the mechanics feel screwed over and costs
cut wherever possible.

Make sure everybody is afraid to say something as to lose their jobs...

I worked for a bunch of 135 operations that I'm surprised hadn't killed a
million people and they were cargo lines.  BTW I hate flying AS I believe it
is UNSAFE.

I would like to give a little support to the bean counter/pusher.  It seems 
he (or she) has been maligned in recent posts.  So, I feel obligated to 
support them:

1. Every time a component is removed, there is one less part to fail, which 
would increase reliability, which may increase the approval of the customer.

2.  Recently, we visited a relative of my wife.  In their living room was a 
beautiful wood cabinet of an old console radio.  I went to turn it on and 
was told it did not work.  My wife volunteered that I could fix it.  So, I 
brought it home.  Was I glad to see, when I opened it up, that it was a 5 
tube radio in this glorious box, rather than a 12 tube super heterodyne 
deluxe with double rf stage, noise limiting and other tubes.  The 5 tube set

was much easier to work on - especially since all they wanted to do was pick

up the local broadcast station.

3.  Customers speak with their pocket book, and they often choose the 
cheapest product they can find.  If you are not competitive, you go out of 
business.  Looking back at the radio manufacturers of the past, I do not 
think many of them went out of business because they had too many bean 
counters.  Perhaps it was their design engineers who did not come up with 
new designs that customers wanted.

There, I have supported the bean counters.  Now, I would also state that I 
do not want one of their close to the maintenance department of the airline 
I fly upon.
