ST,
If we take it as a given that "Take five" (or ANY other LAME) would **NOT** raise a MEL unless the item was indeed faulty, are you saying that you have an objection to a LAME raising a MEL for a faulty item ?
Do you seriously consider raising a MEL for a faulty item shows, and let me quote you, a "lack of professionalism..." ?
Please answer.
Please state what you believe a LAME should do if he finds something faulty that is covered in the DDG manual.

The meaning of Take five's post was quite clear, raise defects when you wouldn't have otherwise done so with the objective of disrupting flights. So yes, I do 'seriously consider' this to be a lack of professionalism. With these sorts of tactics you have little hope of getting support from shareholders for your cause.
