There's nothing really new or earth shattering in that article. It's all things I experienced in my time there. Circuit breakers not pulled according to MEL, MEL's applied that had nothing to do with the actual problem, or just the completely wrong MEL used.

Although my personal favorite MEL was MEL'ing the ART for excessive EGT on takeoff. This had nothing to do with what the problem was, and it made the EGT even hotter. Anyone remember the scale they used to have based on how high the EGT was? I think it was A, B, C, etc., and depending on how high it went you either continued on or had to return. Or the fact they said they would never have the ART on MEL for both engines at the same time, but routinely did? Good times.....

One of the many reasons why I left after almost 10 years.
