A CRJ-700 LEAD MECHANIC REPORTS ON BEING PRESSURED TO DEVIATE FROM MAINT PROCEDURES BY SOME OF HIS COMPANY'S MAINT CONTROLLERS; WHOM HE BELIEVES ARE ALSO BEING PRESSURED TO MEET DEPARTURE SCHEDULES.

Narrative

THIS EVENT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS WORKING ON A ROAD TRIP AT ZZZ ON ACFT X. THIS EVENT IS A SAFETY RISK THAT IS BEING CAUSED BY CTLRS. THE MAINT CTL CTLR TRIED TO TALK ME INTO DEVIATING FROM THE TECHNICAL DATA; AND WAS PRESSURING ME TO GET OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT BLEEDING THE BRAKES WAS NOT REQUIRED BECAUSE THE BRAKES HAD A SELF-BLEEDING MECHANISM; AND LATER HE SAID THAT I WOULD NOT NEED TO SVC THE HYD SYS AFTER I BLED THE BRAKES. NOTE: I BELIEVE THE PRESSURE DISTR ME TO THE POINT I HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE BLEEDING THE BRAKES THAT CAUSED ME TO GO TO THE ER. I DETERMINED THIS EVENT OCCURRED BECAUSE I WAS READING THE TECHNICAL DATA; AND WHAT MAINT CTL WAS TELLING ME WAS INCORRECT. REF CRJ 700 AMM; TASK BLEEDING THE BRAKES. I PERFORMED THE BLEEDING TASK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TECHNICAL DATA; NOT WHAT MAINT CTL WAS TELLING ME TO DO. THE EVENT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE MAINT CTL WANTED THIS ACFT NOW! I BELIEVE THE CTLRS ARE BEING PRESSURED BY MAINT OPS. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO SUGGEST FOR A REMEDY AT THIS TIME; BECAUSE THIS IS A SYSTEMIC; AND A CULTURE PROB AT OUR COMPANY THAT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN MY EXPERIENCE; AND WITH OTHER CO-WORKERS. NOTE: NOT ALL THE CTLRS AT MAINT CTL HAVE TRIED THESE TACTICS WITH ME.
