Cheap paint job. The company I work for tried it and also learnt the hard way. Basically, a quick sanding on the old paint and then the new paint was applied. You need to talk the old paint back to the primer to get the new to adhere properly. They probably did not have the ground time with the summer flight program looming.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
