Some airlines are using security personnel to do a cabin condition report after their security check, and you should see the Sh!t they report. They also think that a frayed edge on a Partition curtain is too important to not follow up to find out what the Engineer did about it. You have to draw the line somewhere, next they will be giving passengers a post flight report slip to complain about there problems.
Still if they want to keep reporting defects( however insignificant they might be) then you and I will be around for a long long long time.
I would like to know what percentage of delays have been attributed to completeing the deferral of cabin defects. Only yesterday I had a technical defect that took the whole transit, which was completed in time for departure, but alas, I had no time to action the miriade of cabin defects that had been transfered into the tech log. Therefore, the aircraft was delayed while I sat and completed my duties.
