F-100 CREW REFUSED ACFT THAT WAS FRAUDULENTLY SIGNED OFF AS REPAIRED BY A COMPANY MAINT SUPVR.

Narrative

REFUSAL TO FLY ACFT. UPON ARRIVING AT THE GATE I WAS MET BY THE INCOMING CAPT. HE TOLD US ABOUT A PROB WITH THE CTL LOCK. HE DECIDED TO WRITE IT UP AND MAINT WAS NOTIFIED. WHEN THEY ARRIVED THERE WERE 2 SUPVR MAINT PEOPLE ALONG WITH THE MECH THAT WAS WORKING THE PROB. ONE OF THESE SUPVRS WAS PUTTING A VERY UNCOMMON AMOUNT OF EMPHASIS ON GETTING THIS PLANE FIXED. SUPVR WAS UNPROFESSIONAL TO BOTH ME AND THE MECH. THE PROB I FELT WAS SERIOUS AND DID NOT SEEM IT WAS GOING TO GET FIXED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BOOK WAS SIGNED OFF AND WE BEGAN BOARDING. I CHKED THE PROB AND IT WAS THE SAME AS WE HAD FOUND IT; NOT FIXED. I ASKED THE MECH THAT STARTED THE FIX IN THE BEGINNING AND INFORMED ME HE DID NOT SIGN THE BOOK NOR WOULD HE HAVE. COME TO FIND OUT THE OTHER SUPVR THAT WAS THERE DECIDED TO SIGN IT OFF. I ASKED THIS MECH IF HE WOULD HAVE SIGNED IT OFF IF THE SUPVRS WERE NOT THERE AND HE SAID HE FELT QUEASY ABOUT THIS ONE. ENOUGH FOR ME; I REFUSED THE ACFT. COME TO FIND OUT THERE WERE A FEW ACFT OTS AT THE TIME; THUS ALL THE PRESSURE TO GET US OUT. THIS I BELIEVE WAS A BAD CASE OF SUPVR PRESSURE TO SIGN OFF A PROB. NO ONE WAS SURE IT WAS FIXED. THE ACFT WAS TAKEN TO MAINT THAT NIGHT.
