FAA Proposes Fines for Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air
"The agency says that during 10 occasions between June 19, 2010 and Jan. 13, 2011, Alaska allegedly performed maintenance on six of its Boeing 737s while failing to comply with the “required alternative deactivation procedures.” Alaska allegedly failed to document alternative actions it carried out and to install the appropriate danger tag, which reduces safety hazards as technicians are working on maintenance and to prevent damage to the aircraft parts and systems themselves."
This is crazy! Did you know that we could get fined for not using our "Lock Out-Tag Out" proceedures? The FAA is getting desperate if you ask me.

I read that to mean not documenting. It sounds like they may have deactivated the systems, just didn't write it up correctly. You have to love the Fed inspecting your work, weeks after you are done. I do wonder if it was line, or hangar work they were looking into.
