Awful quiet

[BentOver]

Well, the way I see it...

NOT writing up an a/c is technically illegal. Therefore any illegalities that may have occurred is aiding the owners get to where they want to go.

Writing up an a/c is technically following the rules.

BTW you'll find both sides of the equation at all of the above mentioned companies.... And then when you turn towards airlines you'll find some of the same. Extra slow taxies, more mechanical write-ups....

Do you not know that exit lights and missing or worn out placards/stickers are non-deferrable....

As for flying in LRC, it's complete crap! Who the hell came up with it? MCT in the 680 and you land 15 minutes ahead and usually with the same fuel! As for being dickheads, if it's broke wirte it up. When you pick up a plane and there's a bunch of crap broke that other crews neglected that is more of an inconvenience. These things start having multiple write-ups and it puts them down longer. Just write the damn things up. Part of our job is to make sure they are airworthy and if they are not do your job! This idea to complete the "mission" at all costs is nonsense. Things break and that's it. We fly airplanes not magic carpets. As for the owners going to the competition, be my guest I can gaurantee you that their dispatch reliability is high simply because they DON'T write stuff up. If you want to ride around in a broken piece of crap have at it Mr. Owner!!
