I can't count the number of times I've been called on my day off by Pinnacle management to explain why we were 5 minutes late because I wouldn't board the aircraft in the pigpen condition it was in. We actually just got a memo last week saying we are NOT to delay boarding for aircraft cleaning/grooming.

As usual, on time bonus checks for management at the expense of livable conditions for the pax/crew.
Thank you for proving my point. MX and management are NOT going to allow us to put a "pigsty" aircraft in line for grooming ahead of a plane with an actual MEL. It's an absolutely ridiculous program and I for one will NOT be paying much attention to it at all!!

way to read waaay to far into a simple post there. The guy said "from a MTX log." Not "from my aircrafts mtx log" or "the a/c i flew had this in the log."

Uh, it says "from an aircraft's mx log"

If I saw that many things deferred, extended and the dreaded "ops check ok" or "cannot duplicate on ground" I'd refuse the aircraft.

Now that you guys have representation, you don't have to worry as much about losing your job over safety.

You're missing my point. You said Wow you guys didn't refuse it? No where did he say he flew it in that condition.

Obviously someone refused it, how else did those seat cushions get replaced?
