Now, I have only been assigned to one base, but the mx here has been pretty good. If something is broke, you write it up, it gets fixed. Or MEL'd until they can GET it fixed. No problems. And I know the ACP in DFW takes a very dim view of mx trying to talk a pilot into NOT writing something up.
You know dang well the FAA has come down on AMF for deferring items for 90 days and fixing them on the 89th day while the plane sat in an mx base every night for the past three months. And not ten years ago.
