Narrative:
Sorry to have come to you for issues pertaining to night shift but we as aircraft maintenance technicians feel the need to write to you all as our requests to night shift supervisors have gone into one ear and come out the other without any interest to these issues. As you all probably know we at nights perform different checks and routine maintenance on the airplanes sitting out there on the remote pads. We have expressed our concerns to night shift supervisors about the need to add more entry door stairs/stands...for aircraft X/Y types as well as lighting fixtures since it's completely dark at night.now that more airplanes are being parked; what do we have to do so that our requests/concerns are answered? Answers supervisors like to say like 'we just gotta work around these issues' are not of people with sound judgment...hence as working group we felt the need to write to you all to explore better possibilities to these specific issues. Again these are safety concerns we feel need to be address as more planes are being parked in these remote areas we need more lighting fixtures and as well as entry door stairs to better accomplish all the required work assigned.need management to provide us with entry door stands.
