So yes all shifts have down time the companies would rather have the Techs in one place (The Office) so as not to have to look for them if somethin happens. Planes are funny machines, they can break just sitting on the ground, they aren't made to sit they are made to fly with up 3000PSI on all seals. Those seals relax and **** starts leakin. for example, so TV is allowed

Aha.... now I know why I was held up several hours in Salt Lake City airport for maintenance on my way to Perris Oval Nationals a few years ago. Got in my rental car at EXACTLY 5PM, had to drive thru LA friggin' traffic... 3 hrs. to go 75 miles... & I was cheating, going in restricted lanes when traffic came to a dead halt. Found out later it was a $400 fine... whew, thank you Road Gods!
