When a trouble is reported, at the main base, one airline is intended to first try to repair the aircraft, taking time to do it. Then, after troubleshooting, if the delay is too long, the airline may use the MEL.
But, due to economic pressure (“punctuality first”) people now rush to the MEL without trying to repair the trouble in order to dispatch the aircraft as soon as possible.
Everybody find that practice acceptable. Can you accept that crews rush through their check-lists?
