Narrative:

It was busy night which included a lot of new guys assigned to this aircraft. There was several hours of very heated conversation on a 'parking/storage' procedure that the supervisors were implementing. With no guidance or help to accomplish this procedure. Along with the supervisors telling us one way; and veteran leads saying something different; and having both sides arguing and going round and round about what should be done; and what procedure we should follow. On a side note the procedure has changed hourly; daily; weekly and monthly; it's still a fluid situation. I was given the aml at the end of the night; to review the paperwork. The aircraft had been finished by the amt's and all the paperwork was done; stamped and put into system. But with an open write up in the log book; it couldn't be closed. So I was advised to close out the discrepancy and add an open item. I filled out a report the night I was told and submitted it. The bantering back and forth. The discussion should they use the gpm or amm? Should we use the parking rule and cover the engine intakes; cover all static ports. Too many different procedures with no real guidance on what action should be taking. Everything that went on that night was in a large part...part of the 'dirty dozen' human factors.the procedures should be the same; it changed 4-5 times that week alone. I couldn't see the original write up. Also the closing out of the log book without leaving any open items. The communication of what proper procedure should be reviewed and discuss before implementing it at zero hour. With so many questions on how to accomplish it with safety being the strongest concern. I filled out a report the night I was told about the incident and submitted it.
