Agree entirely that continual resets does not fix the underlying problem, as I backed my idea that it's effectively a "get out of jail card". Some of the more common issues that may come up on a post flight maintenance report such as those related to FWC or Zone Controllers are generally sorted by engineers interrogating the system and resetting it, especially at an outport during a turnaround.
It takes judgement and big picture awareness by adding things up and determining if it's best course of action and any previous history is actually showing a more worrying trend that it's not just a brain fart with the computer but a serious issue with the system.
If the rumours are true that this acft had a history relating to possible FAC issues and a "quick fix" was all that was needed to get it dispatched then a larger issue with maintenance control and culture will come into play. Wether this becomes public will be another story.
