Simple. Defective thrust reversers should not be an MEL acceptable item. How many people have they killed now ?
Please enlighten me - I am not aware of a any accidents caused by a faulty Thrust Reverser that had been MEL'd?
Please do not include the A320 series accident(s) that involved an MEL'd Thrust Reverser that the MEL Operations led to a human factors issue.
AFAIK the accidents were nothing to do with the Rev U/S - they were to do with the procedures and crew actions... which is best corrected by addressing those procedures (as has been done) rather than a hyterical "Ban Thrust Rev U/S MEL section"...
