Safety Concerns, if "most engineers are prepared to sign off when they shouldn't" I'm sure we'd have far more incidents/accidents than we do now. Lately we've been finding cracks on our fleet of large twin-engined Boeings. The defect has always gone in the tech log and the appropriate action taken. (Including several delays which cost the company several million and for which I take no pride in causing). I speak for myself, perhaps you should also!
