That's the first post You have written where you haven't said..." I hope I never fly with you"
As for the airbus I haven't had an MEL in ages. At the moment most of the delays and AOG and return to base are 777 and 747.
If the PA system is not written up in the MEL as U/S why would you want to check it to make sure it is working...seems dumb to me.....and I know, I know..you dont want to fly with me...
