"Also heard mx supers beg me not to write up compressor stalls.."
U said u worked there, so y do u say u "heard Mx Supers". If they talked to u then I assume u didn't have to "hear"? Your statment makes no sense, true about the budget issue, won't argue about that. However, Mx does not send an A/C out in an unairworthy condition that it is aware of. Hey, all I know is crews have refused to take the aircraft because they didn't have any catering! If it ain't safe, then don't take it, don't get me started on the engine issues, monitoring the engine health was very hard to do when the FE can't fill in the blanks of the trim sheets, or can't write the correct nfo in the correct blanks.......................
