No UNION publication needed just a little common sense.
A "questionable MEL" wasn't my question. Also, I think union guidance on these and many other issues is one of many invaluable tools for a professional pilot to draw on. Their guidance in safety is invaluable. I appreciate the availability of many additional resources to draw on when I make decisions about safety. I've seen common sense fail too many times. I tend to look for SOP as my primary guide.
