Do you hesitate to tell the captain that you found a discrepancy on your walk around? Is checking engine oil levels an obscure rule? Funny, I thought that was literally on the checklist. I'm not telling them what to do with the airplane, I'm telling them of a discrepancy that could violate our certificates.
