Keep in mind the mechanic on the phone in the NOC would actually have to go through the trouble of finding the previous flight number, then the crews' names, then find out where they're based, find out the chief pilot's numbers, then make a phone call about it. I don't see that happening pretty much ever.

400 bucks is chump change of what ground ops burns daily at this place .

It takes two seconds to put the fluids in the logbook. I don't get a free pass for things I miss on my 4am walk around, why should somebody get a free pass on my certificate because they blocked in at 4am?
