It’s wildly unrealistic to expect maintenance to fix 100.0% of issues, and to fix them immediately at that. There’s a balance to be struck with on-time performance that will naturally prioritize safety critical maintenance while postponing cosmetic repairs until they can be performed without schedule pressure.

Eventually it all folds into one management org, that is the whole issue.

I wouldn't expect two parallel cultures in a org, one for safety, one for entertainment systems.

My point is more that non-functional infotainment on one single flight is just simply nowhere near enough data to judge a whole organization.

hmm. theres a theory that the faulty entertainment/AC power bus could have played a role in a cascading power failure if a rare known edge case called a FADEC reboot were to occur.
