we engineers are being paid for making professional judgement. after spending years in this industry we should have the instinct about whatz go / no go.
i never hinted to dispatch any failed item that is n installed / n required
listed in the MEL. what i meant is if something
not listed in the MEL then it comes to our judgement to decide go / no go. put forward options to pilot/airlines if we feel comfortably justisified.
i'm lucky the company i work for never force anybody to sign off thing no happy with him.
