A retired Navy chief told me last week that 'a good tech fixes the plane, a great tech fixes the logbook', and it's been stuck in my head ever since.
He argued that meticulous documentation is as critical as the repair itself, while I've always felt the pressure to get the bird back in the air fast, so where do you all stand on paperwork versus turnaround time?

Oh man, that reminds me of my old car... I spent more time trying to find the right receipt for a part than I did actually putting it on.

Some guy on YouTube was saying his work logs everything in digital format now. Makes me wonder if we'll all just be chasing digital receipts one day lol

That receipt thing is the worst. It's like the paperwork becomes its own broken system you have to fix. You can have the plane ready to fly, but if the logbook is a mess, the next crew has no clue what they're working with. That just pushes the problem down the line and makes their job harder. A clean record saves way more time in the long run than skipping the write-up ever will.
