That's not a phone call, that's an FAA violation (and one that you can't ASAP btw).
I've never once, in all my time here, been asked or told to fly an airplane with an unresolved maintenance issue.
If it's broken, it gets fixed, ferried or deferred, those are the only options.
Three words. “ go home day”. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear more people aren’t being pressured to fly but rather “we will write it up in Atlanta”
