There’s a little info in the GMM on It, like a table that discusses what needs to be on It. Want to start a delay? The fire extinguisher is suppose to have the actual weight listed by the bullet that says weight, straight from the GMM. Had an FO point this out so I called called mx, told me it wasn’t needed, referred them to the GMM because i was clueless and just want a legal airplane, long story short mx had to fix It ... had no idea about this but it’s in a manual we have, and I was shown it was needed, not much of a choice. Food for thought if you have that 117 coming up and want that layover. I just think we should fix the stupid stuff here before It gets out of hand.
That was kind of point. It’s our responsibility to make sure it’s a legal aircraft and we do check the emergency equipment, but how in depth do we go.
FAA has made a stink about those stickers before. Which is why I’m pointing out we haven’t had any real guidance on them.
As pilots we typically don’t look at the GMM

Are we really trying to find any way to not fly? Obviously we want legal aircraft as it is our job, but that's really nitpicking to create an issue. No wonder our performance sucks. It's like when we write up dumb NEF items in Geg at 5 am when maintenance is 45-60 minutes out and it can be handled upon arrival in base very quickly.

To add to the above post, if you hear
“Shake n’ Bake! ‘AUTOPILOT’” after the sterile light comes on, don’t worry that’s normal

It’s these Flight Instructor-to-Airline types who don’t understand what to write up and where.

How about not making broad generalizations of one particular pathway to the airlines. We've had CFI types here for 3+ years now, its not one group of pilots making these unnecessary writes ups. Its a personality type...
