While being a mechanic for PHI Air Med in Texas many years ago I've been called in for "fake faults" by the pilot  several times to down the aircraft so the med crew can watch their favorite TV show uninterrupted.

When I immediately returned the aircraft back to service I received a call from the maintenance manager asking me if I wanted to keep my job, then says he's getting to much report about my bad attitude. After several more incidents like this I walked in one day and told them they were down permanently until they could get another mechanic because you can- TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT !!!
