But if someone said that my red sharpie was as bas as using a ball peen hammer unless I went to "their" brand I would be hard pressed to believe them. Just my .02.
Not a competing company.....

Sharpie is made by Sanford.

Harold,

That would be called a humorous response to a post. That was not real. SW had issues with doing the Aging Aircraft Insp. Program inspections. That is not a bad maintenance practice by mechanics. That is what certain managers decided to do. Mechanics can only do the work they are assigned.
