You need to finish the sentence....
....it is our job to complete the mission, in accordance with company policy and FAA regulation in the safest manner possible.
I submitt that what you and others are describing, is not the mark of a professional airline pilot.
How may times does your company, the management, the mx dept, the flight dept, the training dept and every other dept... along with the FAA, the NTSB, the media, and even the pilots association have to tell you to write things up, before it will sink into your head.
Yes, your job is to go from point A to point B, but not with a broken airplane it isn't.
