i thought there were some other issues with alaska mx...a ''home made tool to judge tolerance'', a different lubrication than mfr rec'd.
just a lesson for all pilots...its up to you if the flight is safe or not. not some guy in maintenance control or ''dispatch''.
dispatch...ha...I got a message during landing rollout on a snowy runway at KSYR...it came on ACARS after we landed...message follows: DO NOT LAND AT KSYR.
our message in response, once we had stopped was...DO YOU WANT US TO TAKEOFF AGAIN?
dispatch.!
