I should reword myself and say that it’s notifying maintenance at the hub to have them come out as opposed to just contacting MOC and getting guided through the process of deferring something. The reason being that a delay ensues when maintenance must come out... I don’t honestly know which would take more time- deferring yourself or having MX do it for you. Kind of like deciding whether to take the JITNEY or walking down terminal 4 at JFK.

If that's the level of pilot pushing we're discussing then you have no idea how bad some other airlines have it.

That's not telling someone to fly a broken airplane or pilot pushing. A pilot deferral should be a 5 minute exercise. If you choose not to complete that 5 minute exercise and leave it to MX then maybe you'd get a call but I never have. And IF you (or this person) got a call, did discipline result? Because if not, so what.

The bigger issue is flying a broken airplane from an outstation to the hub, because you don't want to wait around for contract mx. That definitely deserves a phone call.

That's not a phone call, that's an FAA violation (and one that you can't ASAP btw).
I've never once, in all my time here, been asked or told to fly an airplane with an unresolved maintenance issue.
If it's broken, it gets fixed, ferried or deferred, those are the only options.

No one should be doing that. If maintenance advises you to do that, don't. If anyone tries to push you to do that, don't and call the union.

I've more than once written stuff up on go home day at outstations, if that's where it broke, that's where it gets written up. So far, I don't know that I've even missed a commute home because of it yet. The day may come but keeping a violation off my record would be worth taking one flight later home, I'll have to hope I'm not in the minority.

Just a reminder as well that if you have a mechanical discrepancy and you call OCC; don’t let maintenance tell you to reset breakers or start engines to clear reverser cautions etc. You can do an aircraft power reset, but we don’t want to see corrective actions where you cycled breakers under the direction of MOC. Feds don’t want that anymore
