Adaptation is refusing your gut instinct to pull a reference out of your black book to sign off a PDIS and travel the the 30 minutes to get the proper reference in paper (if the aircraft does not have amm etc on the aircraft). I am just saying that the airlines make the rules (have large influence over the FAA in my case) if they do not make it easy for us to do our jobs by the book make it their liability, not ours. We are influenced all too often to do everything we can to save a delay, to be a company man, MGT will never back you up if you are not fully prepared and your CAA decides to make a visit.
You can not go wrong by doing the correct thing even if it means scrutiny by MGT. They are backing us into a corner fellas, we do not have to let them. By doing so you force their hand to spend the money to allow us to be more efficient!
Cheers brother easaman!
Just to add that sometimes I will kill a tree before getting called out to an aircraft given a general idea of what has been written in the log hoping that I am prepared only to find that what has been reported to me has nothing to do with the actual problem, sometimes I show up with the correct reference and save the flight.
