Maintenance Control has live access to status of all aircraft systems through ACARS datalink. A lot more and in fact deeper info to what is available for the pilots. Engine health, pressurization, hydraulic systems, any lights taken out by the bird, the reason of the unreliable airspeed indication etc etc. It's only wise to ask them what they see to support your (the commander's) decision.
