What did you guys get for it? They have our regional now doing that type of MEL balancing, where they get an MOC authorization number, enter the MEL deferal and start the clock on the repair depending on what category the item is. I'm hearing they're being alloowd to crew placardmand balance things like the Fadecs and stuff that really should be looked at by a MX person. I can see placarding until it makes it to a mx base, but writing something up and baancing the entry for something that may go 120 days before getting a mx look-see sounds a bit much...

so, who else is balancing out their own write-ups?
