AFTER COMPLETING AN ONLINE COURSE FOR ACFT AIRWORTHINESS RELEASE AUTHORITY; A MECHANIC IS INFORMED ALL OF HIS TRAINING RECORDS HAVE BEEN DELETED.

Narrative

I WAS NOTIFIED BY MY SUPVR THAT DURING THE MONTH WHILE WORKING I SIGNED OFF SEVERAL AIRWORTHINESS RELEASES. AFTER ARRIVING DIRECTLY FROM THE APPRENTICE PROGRAM; I WAS INFORMED BY DIRECT SUPERVISION THAT I NEEDED TO OBTAIN MY AIRWORTHINESS RELEASE CERTIFICATE ASAP. I WAS UNAWARE THAT BEING OFF PROBATION WAS A PREREQUISITE FOR HAVING MY AIRWORTHINESS RELEASE. I TOOK THE ON-LINE COURSE AND PASSED AND WAS GIVEN MY AIRWORTHINESS RELEASE CERTIFICATION BY THE DIRECTOR. WHAT I DO FIND TROUBLING IS THAT ALL THE TRAINING RECORDS HAVE BEEN DELETED FROM MY FILE. AS I TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHERS THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH THE APPRENTICE PROGRAM; THEY WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT THEY NEEDED THEIR AIRWORTHINESS RELEASES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ON PROBATION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY AND WHO WAS GIVEN THE AUTH TO GO IN MY FILE AND PULL A TRAINING RECORD WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. I SUGGEST THAT SUPERVISION BE MORE INFORMED ON TRAINING POLICIES THAT THEY ARE ADAMANT ABOUT PURSUING. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED IN THE APPRENTICE PROGRAM THAT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE PRACTICE.
