Mate; I think you are confused here... the guy was not talking about pulling circuit breakers in maintenance. He was talking about resetting a tripped circuit breaker that tripped during operation without satisfactory troubleshooting as to the cause. This is very dangerous in the case of a tripped fuel pump CB. CB's trip in operation for a reason. That may include arcing or high resistance at electrical connections, overload of the pump and other nasty reasons. Forcing the operation of a defective fuel pump by resetting CBs without investigating and finding the cause can cause catastrophic failure of the airframe in flight. We have seen this occur. Don't do it.
Similarly, forcing the operation of the fuel pump in maintenance is dangerous if the fuel pump is located within a volatile environment such as a fuel tank (which it usually is).
I do agree that promulgation of this information and for that matter a lot of other critical airworthiness information could be improved. The operator should ensure that all airworthiness information critical to safe operation of the aircraft is available to the aircrew; and the person responsible for continuing airworthiness of an aircraft (usually the operator) should ensure that all personnel involved in maintenance on the aircraft have access to all relevant instructions for continuing airworthiness.
