Perhaps John works for Eastern and has rose colored glasses on. The base in Peru they use for mx is notorious for sending planes out with open MEL's and often with more broken than they went in with, I know this for a fact. When management gets upset because mx is spending too much money clearing MEL's early, you have a problem. Eastern and their ilk are famous for maximizing profits at all costs, ultimately the FAA and DoD recognize this and act accordingly

Here’s another one:

Eastern Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration N703KW performing flight 2D-3160 from Shannon (Ireland) to Savannah Hunter Air Force Base,GA (USA) with 140 people on board, was enroute at FL280 in Gander Oceanic Airspace about 380nm northnortheast of Goose Bay,NL (Canada) when the crew reported an electrical burning/overheating odour in the cockpit and requested to divert to Goose Bay. The aircraft landed safely on Goose Bay's runway 26 about one hour later.
The Canadian TSB reported maintenance found the left hand nav display's cooling duct clogged with dust and debris causing arcing. After cleaning the duct the aircraft was returned to service.
