asheng,
I think I stated in my last post about how I and my company deals with MEL situations. They will never ask me to sign anything that is not above scrutiny. I like that. But we do have a policy in place, and it is aproved, and falls within the local law. Further more I can only get an extension if we are awaiting parts, ie have a part on order from the relavant manufacturer. I can't just postpone work because i don't feel like doing it. I do end up doing a fair amount of late shifts to fix things so the a/c is servicable for the next flight.
