Why would I be interested in what happened in recurrent? If it happened then great! Mission accomplished. I can’t count the number of times aircrews “squawked” a system and we returned it to them NDF (no discrepancy found). Those squawks keep coming back. Technicians may need to change a motor. The ivory tower at this time might put that off. Will those in the front office accept a plane that says “I’m not flying until this motor is changed Dave”? I don’t think so. It can be challenging to get a motor changed even during a scheduled maintenance.
It’s really not all about the aircrew. If you’re truly a big picture thinker, maintenance and logistics are included in the cost of operations. I’ve only heard about pilot salaries and revenue per mile.
BTW quoting 2001: A Space Odyssey was mildly disturbing. It brings to mind Terminator and I Robot.
