Didn't answer any of the questions. What are the engine failure profiles for GVA RW 5 and SFO 28?
There are huge mountains infront of the runway. TERPS do not protect you when you turn back to the runway so how does CAL solve that problem, and when exactly did CAL get centerline tracking for the 756 fleet, pre or post May 2010, 'cuz UAL had it from atleast 98.?

SFO 28 L/R: 2.0 DME from SFO, turn right 310 heading, intercept 294 radial off SFO, track outbound. 900' accel. height
GVA RWY 05: If below 5589 AGL, intercept, track 225 radial off SPR VOR. Clean up, climb to 7000, and hold at VOR.

I heard that you guys couldnt proactively correct a fuel inbalance in-flight without waiting for a corresponding caution light or EICAS message directing you to do so?
Before that there was no requirement to wait for a light or use a checklist. And it's now recommended but not required.

There was an FAA mandated thing on the 756 after a couple of brainiacks flamed both engines coming out of the Hawaiian islands while balancing fuel on a 757.

One brainiac did both double engine flame outs while trying to cross feed.....and it was on the same plane, twice. 767-300 #6666. No I'm not joking. The planes name is Christine. Low time F/O with complications from the captain.
Big blow up with Boeing over the enignes supposed to stay running and suction feed with no boost pumps. Guess they got that one wrong. Anyway, we can now cross feed without an emergency being declared. Hooray.

I realize this question this paints with a broad stroke but I ask it with all sincerity.
There is a maintenance issue with an airplane that can be legally deferred. The Captain is wants to accept the plane, but the F/O(s) is/are genuinely uncomfortable flying with the deferral. Is the prevailing sentiment at sCAL to tell the F/O's to fly the plane or get off the ID since the Captain will not refuse it, or will the Captain refuse the aircraft out of the F/O(s) concern?

Why would the deferral be uncomfortable? More info needed. I don't think you can get a prevailing sentiment or broadstroke answer since the question is vague. In my time it has always been subjective. Legal has it's boundaries and limits also.

Now for my question. Special Tracking have you ever been a Captain at a major airline or in command in the military. The reason I ask is because you sure seem to like to throw grenades. Not the best way to build a crew/team. You must be a hoot to be with on a 4 day trip.

I can appreciate that. It was my intention to be vague with the understanding that the F/O had a valid concern. Yes it would be a legal def of a major system, but nothing along the lines of a ldg light out, a video monitor inop, or anything else to be considered minuscule. I didn't want to get into a "what would you take" discussion but rather one of "would the Capt stand up for the F/O."
Mwindaji, albeit from his perspective, gave me some insight.

I would say you are off the mark on that comment.
I do like how you bolster your argument by attacking a poster. Actually, I have neither been a Capt nor in the military. How did you know? Instinct? From those who I have spoken with that have personal knowledge of CAL Mgt tactics, I have a bad "attitude" that just might need some "adjustment." Shocker indeed.
