Hit 2000 hours in the hangar without a single AOG callout

I was just tallying up my time logs from the last 3 years and realized I passed 2000 hours of line maintenance without a single AOG (aircraft on ground) emergency call. That surprised me because I figured I'd have at least a few blown callouts from routine stuff like oil filter gaskets leaking or a bad tire. Most of it comes down to double-checking torque specs and using a borescope on hidden spots before I button things up. Anyone else keep a running count of their clean streaks?

Honestly, that's a solid run right there. For me, the biggest thing was slowing down on the little stuff. I used to rush through torque checks and stuff like that, and sure enough, I'd get a call a week later for a tiny leak. Started using a borescope on every hidden spot too, even if it added fifteen minutes to the job. It's annoying in the moment but way better than the headache of a callback.

Borescope on every job sounds a bit overkill tbh.
