Pilots at Swift, or any Airline, referring to MEL/DDG's inflight to answer an abnormal aircraft systems indication is an indication of poor training. Knowing "too much" is NEVER a problem. Making bad decisions, poor airmanship and having little to no training provided by your Airline is THE problem and a RED FLAG for the FAA. Sad to see colleagues have these kind of discussions, in public, where they literally make fools of themselves.
