I stand firmly by my post. I do not beleive this was just a simple question. Scaglad deliberately named the company, cast doubt on the engineers decision to release the aircraft by his exclamation at the end of the sentance and implied that the captain commited some offence by asking if his decission was lawfull.
An innocent question would go something like this.
An incident happened today at Dublin where an aircraft was dispatched with a cockpit warning indicating an unsafe door. How is this possible?
Many of you would then explained the existance of the MEL and how it works.
Aer Arann is a very good airline and its pilots and engineers are as good as any i have seen. Scraglands post brings them into question and that is unfair.
