I filed a report recently about this very same situation.  The hangar is ignoring the pitot tube cover policy on aircraft that are on the ground for more than 48 hours. Today; aircraft came to the line for trip X. Aircraft had been here since [date].  My Supervisor called the hangar at approximately XA:00 to inform the hangar that the pitot inspection was required since they failed to follow procedures.  The aircraft was released for service anyway and sent to the line with a violation they were made aware of.This keeps happening because the hangar managers keep failing to follow procedures.Have the hangar managers and supervisors ensure the pitot cover policy is being complied with.
Maintenance Technician reported problems with other technicians not following the correct company policy for aircraft checks.
