The lazy mechanic game.  

It's not that F 'ing hard. As the poster above said, stop writing up dumb S #!t.

I will never write up anything without talking to a Mech first. Sometimes you can make something super simple into a major deal by just what you write, so confer with the Mech first. If it's something like a broken plastic interior panel that doesn't harm anyone, let a Mech know and they will take care of it on the next weather day or inspection. Doesn't have to be a big deal. It's not that they are lazy, it's that they also know how to play the game and avoid unecessary OOS time. (i.e. make the hosp not like you.) If it's something serious and is an actual unairworthy item, I've never had a Mech turn the other way. They are on it like white on rice.

So simple answer, Stop writing up stu pid S #it.
