Pax jet pilots. How many non working items have you flown with on your aircraft's minimum equipment list?

You're going to get all kinds of answers to your question and I think you'll find, generally speaking, that most maintenance divisions of any airline are a proud bunch of guys....so your answers, I would guess, would be something like "not very much"...in an airline career that spanned almost 40 years, I can't remember more than 2 or max, 3 on any one flight....all relatively non-critical items. However, I cannot fail to p this experience on to you, while at the same time relating with awe and pride my experience of having flown for 5 years for the country of Japan.........In 5 years, of flying a full line schedule...in 5 years!!......a grand TOTAL of 1 (ONE!!) "inoperative sticker" I repeat!! ONE!!........in 5 years!!
