Heard a new hire say the squib circuit "probably doesn't matter" and I had to walk away
Was doing a gear retract test on a 737 last Tuesday and this kid from the next bay said you can skip the continuity check on the squibs because they never fail. I've seen one ohm out at 3.7 when the manual calls for 4.5 max, and that's the kind of thing that turns into a no-go on the line. How do you all get new guys to slow down on the firing circuits without sounding like a jerk?

Wait, a new hire actually said that out loud on the floor? I've seen a squib read low too and it got flagged right away, so skipping that check is asking for trouble. You don't have to be soft about it either, just tell him the firing circuit is the one place guessing gets people hurt.
