I hope those with less than acceptable service make an effort to inform AA. I also hope they are at least recording the complaints and should they need to select who stays and who goes this will be a factor.

What's more, I believe the policy is for an observer to announce themselves in the event of a check-ride. IMO this is crap - if you want a true picture of how your staff is performing on a normal basis, you need to secret shop them instead of letting them know they're being observed.
