It is easy to say write up any defect, and I used to alot, but when the owner comes up to you and says "You have really F%$#%d us by grounding this a/c, I suggest you change to it to Written In Error, or find yourself a new job" for a young, broke and deep indebt pilot this can be sometimes very hard
So very sad and so true. My guess is the majority of general aviation pilots - particularly those starting out in their career have experienced this sort of treatment at some time or another. Yet strange to say, all the you beaut glossy brochured flight safety organisations with corporate sponsorship from the airlines and government sources, never mention it in their magazines or media outlets. The subject is too dirty to talk about and best swept under the carpet.
