It will only get worse with the older beat up aircraft we will be getting. I just don’t get why anyone would want those old clapped out 700s. I think they’re going to be a bad choice. I’m either right or wrong but we won’t honestly know for a while.
Fault reset is just for a few specific problems, which is why the list in the QRH (700/900) is so short. That is why it requires a 3 day Mx lookback, and can only be done once per flight. Specific ‘known issues’ that can be reset.
The infinite breaker pulling via MOC is different and I agree shouldn’t be common occurrences.
As for “old clapped out” 700s, the last two were in arguably better shape than the first three we got, so, YMMV
