Depends how far the Company wants to take it. RLA is against the pilots today - you don't have nearly the leverage you once had.

I think what Whack may have been referring to, or at least how I took it, is the process of not letting maintenance know of minor things like logo lights, wheel well lights, or seat issues, etc. and carrying them instead of writing them up all to save the almighty dollar...

You guys (SWAPA) kept the entire profession from falling into an even deeper abyss post-911 by raising the bar while the rest of us were lowering the bar and falling on our collective a$$es. Thank you very much.

I've never understood the carry it mentality either. Who cares if it's a light or a screw, put it in the damn book and let MX figure it out. It's usually deferrable anyway so it's not like the little stuff throws off the on-time. I wouldn't want to make it easy for the company to detect a "change" in how I treat my aircraft.

Not even close to true, but I am glad to see SWA stepping up and pushing back.
