Because this maintenance procedure required a mechanic and approval from dispatch.

I think you need to apply at Kalitta.

We do it all the time."
Tell them the MEL/CDL Deferral Procedures Chart for Use by Pilots which is now in the Mel and not just page 26 of TOPP40-40-05, says we are dead in the water until mcc answers the phone.

Do any of the fleet have Y* anymore?

I've been an instructor in a 121 and 142 environment, and in addition to other incentives. I'm not crazy about the area of the country I'm living in and want to get back down South. We'll see...Hopefully, it is a good opportunity to increase my pay and simplify the job. ONE manual, ONE aircraft type and ONE pilot group...A PREDICTABLE schedule and hopefully an increase in pay while living in a lower cost of living area...
ONE Manual, not at Delta
a predictable schedule, now your making me laugh!

No kidding. I don't do any deferrals without contacting MCC -- as per the TOPPS manual.

I'm not deferring anything without contacting MCC. Too much at stake, too much paper trail, too many potholes.

Understood. Your choice. I just wanted you (and others) to know that you can, for certain items.
