"As a person who firmly believes that the lives of others are in the hands of my work, I never take shortcuts or move on to the next task until I know that all of my work is completed. A few months ago, my team was working on an engine reinstall on a plane that needed a full replacement. We had a few mechanics working together as a team, and the entire install took a pretty good amount of time and teamwork. When completed, I took the time to walk through our final engine installation safety checklist one last time and noticed that one of the critical fuse pins, used to mount the engine, had been installed improperly. I gathered my team back and explained what had happened and the need to immediately fix it. Had I not caught this mistake, I am confident it would have been caught in final overall inspection, but you can never be 100% sure of anything. I'm just glad I did my due diligence that day."
