Narrative:
I am writing this notice to help my concerns about maintenance at air carrier X airlines. I have worked at this company for 23 yrs and have noted a large increase in the last 8 months of maintenance errors, from items not correctly assembled after other station's work to tires not properly svced after replacement (50 pounds shipping pressure). I have found over 5 tires not correctly svced in the last 4 months from other stations. I have contacted my monitor about my concerns and have even attempted to call the toll free number. The toll free number will not accept calls from a public pay phone.
