another quick question, will you defer a scratched cabin trim panel?
I think we have already covered this.
Non airworthiness items such as carpets, cabin trim panels etc are deferred under MEL 05-01.
This is about the only time we now get to use discretion.
Even then one is looking over one's shoulder just in case that dodgy bit of carpet turns out to be a major trip hazard and the airline gets sued by Mrs Smith from Purley.
Nice talking to you H.
Watch your A

se!
