Rant: I used to think hot swaps on the flight line were rushed work, then I watched a guy at the Tulsa hangar do one in 12 minutes
He tagged every connector with a paint pen before pulling the old LRU and torque-checked the rack bolts on install, and the plane never came back for a repeat write-up. Am I the only one who got lazy about documenting the removal just to beat the departure clock?

Reminds me of a guy I knew at a shop in Wichita who kept a little notebook in his back pocket. Every job he did, he'd jot down what he pulled, what he torqued, the whole deal. Took him maybe thirty extra seconds per task. Everyone gave him grief for it until a plane came back six months later with a problem and he flipped to the page and had the whole history right there. The rest of us were standing around trying to remember what we ate for breakfast that day. That notebook probably saved him more grief than any torque wrench ever did.
