Ok I'm really puzzled why so many would continue to destination.
You're not legal (airworthy).
And, How can you possibly continue to dest'n knowing how seriously crew performance would be reduced in a real smoke emergency? You're betting it won't happen?
(We had three of these last year in one particular fleet in the span of two or three weeks before determining what the problem was. All three were immediate diversions and not a single eyebrow was directed toward the crew.)
