Were they still maintenance folks after that?

How about the supervisor who signed off on their work?

It wasn't my shop, so I don't know what the consequences were. A lot would depend on the specifics of who knew what when. If it was a 3-level (someone that is just out of tech school and in their first year or so in that position) that just grabbed the one can of anti-seize compound in the cabinet, it's possible that no one knew that the wrong compound had been used prior to the post-incident investigation. That would likely have resulted in required retraining for that technician and possibly the entire shop (or wider). If a 5-level or higher had suggested/approved it, then a stronger action would have been taken. A huge amount depends on how upfront and forthright the people were -- a lot gets forgiven if you make no attempt to cover anything up, but that goes away very quickly if you do. Maintenance activities learned through hard experience that excessive punishments for non-malicious actions is counter-productive to the goal of figuring out what actually happened and making changes to prevent it from happening again. Plus, there is the never-officially-acknowledged-but-widely-practiced principle that sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

 

That moment when your brain freezes.

"Nos" gives your wings.

Don't use drugs and drive.
