now the parts needed will now be issued a P.O.(purchase order) and on the header line it will state "AOG" and that means AIRCRAFT ON GROUND! that in and of itself indicates a RUSH attitude to be taken by all who handle the "P.O." and to expedite it ASAP.


but reality is: all the parts get nice red steekers AOG(stickers) that dont mean jack crap to anybody.


now if the aircraft has people on it or very important cargo, they will send another plane. but reality is: the parts needed get a "HOT-AOG" (hot aircraft on ground) and they get a flourescent orange "HOT-AOG" steeker(sticker) and thats supposed to indicate a "code red hop sing mo-fo cluster feek" to EXPEDITE THOSE PARTS ASAP IF NOT YESTERDAY............but as we all know.............the piles and piles of paperwork generated from this "HOT-AOG" preclude just walking up to the shelf, grabbing the parts, and putting them on the next plane going there.



it will be there a month at least.



now if its a military "HOT-AOG" thats when the armed airforce/army/navy/marine/USCG guards come in with the semi truck, set up their cots, break out the cards, put m-16's in corner, and order out chinese or pizza until the part is completed/tested in test cell/crated and then rolled onto semi-truck therefore interrupting the chinese/pizza poker game.



ask me how i know? garrett LAX fright(flight) line experience.



and thats how the wonderful world of aircraft parts works(?).
