    As an airline customer, I would much rather have the airline tell me the plane was grounded due to parts being ready to fall off than the 3 hours I had to wait one time because of a busted tray table.

      If it’s not in the MEL or CDL then you can’t fly without it. They’re basically a book of approvals for how long you can get away with stuff.

      Btw If the tray table can’t be stowed, you can’t take off with anyone in that row because of the danger in an emergency landing.
