Besides the fact that they now bored without the crew even authorizing it. I have had 2 instances recently where captains were put in an unnecessary high pressure situation to get the airplane out by MX and dispatch. I won't go into details on a public forum but they were completely unnecessary situation. I was just shocked to see the captains have to push back so much. Never seen that in 9 years at a regional.
