Okay, maybe it shouldn't bother me...but the more I think about it, the more irritated I get.
We brought a CRJ into DFW last night around 7pm. We had a lot of issues with the flight director (altitude selector was erratic, command bars didn't match side-to-side, speed mode didn't work, etc.). In addition, while we were taxiing in, the nosewheel steering crapped out on us twice. I know it's inconvenient for the nap crew taking the airplane out, but I felt like this was stuff that needed to be written up (particularly since the altitude selector problem was a repeat write-up)...and I hoped maintenance would try to actually fix it instead of just defer the autopilot and flight director.
So when maintenance shows up, the first mechanic we meet says--in an exasperated tone--"so I guess this is f*ck-your-buddy night, huh?"
What do y'all think? Should I (A) ignore it like usual, or (B) write this mechanic's comments up as a couple of people have recommended to me? Would any of you take issue with a remark like that?
