Thanks for the replies - Especially from the Engineers. Glad to see that the common consensus is PUT IT IN THE BOOK!
EGBK-Goes without saying, if your not happy - REPORT IT
What does disturb me is the varied acceptance levels of some crews. I have seen one crew hand over an a/c with a 'grounder' of a fualt to the Engineers without putting it in the book, the next crew pitch up consisting of, shall we say a more experienced Captain and take the a/c when clearly it was outside operating parameters. His reason - The fault would take several hours to fix, he had seen this in his VAST flying carreer before and there were 100+ pax waiting to go on their holidays
What sort of message does this convey to future Captains?
