A B757-200 WAS DISPATCHED IN NON COMPLIANCE WITH THE PAX SAFETY DEMO TAPE DEFERRED USING LCL MAINT AUTH.

Narrative

AT ABOUT XA00; AN EMPLOYEE CALLED ON PORTABLE RADIO SYS THAT ACFT ON GATE XYZ NEEDED TO HAVE 2 ITEMS DEFERRED AND I ASKED IF THAT WAS THE RADIO AND ELECTRIC WRITE-UPS. HE SAID THAT IT WAS MY JOB TO DEFER; SINCE THIS ACFT WAS ASSIGNED TO ME AND ANOTHER TECHNICIAN. I SAID THIS WAS THE OTHER DEPT'S WORK AND ABOUT THIS TIME; SUPVR SAID OVER RADIO SYS THAT IF ACFT TOOK A DELAY BECAUSE OF THIS PROB; I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB. AFTER THIS STATEMENT FROM SUPVR; I WENT OUT TO ACFT AND PLACED 2 ITEMS ON DEFERRAL. WHILE I WAS WRITING IN LOGBOOK; THE CAPT HAD THE MEL BOOK IN HIS HAND AND ASKED IF I WANTED TO MEL SAID ITEMS IN QUESTION. I SAID NO; THE MAINT OFFICE SAID THIS WAS A DEFERRAL AND I TOLD HIM TO CALL MY MAINT OFFICE; AND HE DID AND SOMEONE TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS A DEFERRED ITEM. AT THIS TIME; I FINISHED THE PAPERWORK; THE ACFT DEPARTED A SHORT TIME LATER. AFTER THIS TIME; I CAME BACK INSIDE AND SOME OF THE TECHNICIANS SAID THEY THOUGHT THAT THE SAFETY DEMO TAPE WAS AN MEL ITEM; AND SHOWED ME IN THE MEL BOOK. I HAVE NEVER HAD TRAINING AND THEN I WENT INTO THE MAINT OFFICE AND ASKED TECHNICIAN WHY HE SET ME UP. HE SAID THAT ITEM IN QUESTION WAS A DEFER AND WHEN I SHOWED HIM IN MEL BOOK AS I WAS SHOWN; HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW THIS. MY POINT IS THAT TECHNICIAN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO RADIO AND ELECTRIC WORK; AS I AM NOT TRAINED IN THIS AREA.
