AFTER REPORTING MULTIPLE ACFT DISCREPANCIES DISCOVERED DURING THEIR PREFLT TO MAINT; FLT CREW OF AN A320 ARE DISMAYED TO BE APPROACHED BY FLT MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL WHOSE PRESENCE THEY FELT WAS INTENDED TO INTIMIDATE THEM INTO ACCEPTING THE ACFT WITHOUT APPROPRIATE ATTENTION TO THE WRITE-UPS.

Narrative

DURING PREFLT; SEVERAL MAINT DISCREPANCIES WERE DISCOVERED AND SUBMITTED TO MAINT VIA ACARS SUBMISSION. THESE DISCREPANCIES INCLUDED: 1) OVER-SERVICING ON THE GREEN HYD SYS (SYS APPROPRIATELY DRAINED BY MAINT). 2) CAPT'S NAV DISPLAY TOO DIM FOR SUITABLE USE IN HIGH AMBIENT LIGHT CONDITIONS (NAV DISPLAY REPLACED BY MAINT). 3) FOD DISCOVERED ON EXTERIOR PREFLT; A NAPKIN OR OTHER PAPER MATERIAL IN THE AVIONICS VENTILATION SYS INLET ON THE L SIDE OF THE FORWARD FUSELAGE. FOD REMOVED BY MAINT. ADDITIONALLY; ACFT HAD SOME HISTORY OF AVIONICS FAULTS IN THE RECENT PAST WHEREBY THEY WERE CLRED VIA CIRCUIT BREAKER RESET ONLY WITHOUT ANY ACTUAL MAINT ACTION. 4) TAIL WHITE POS LIGHT LENS WAS OBSCURED BY EITHER OIL OR APU EXHAUST RESIDUE WHICH REQUIRED CLEANING TO MAKE THE LIGHT VISIBLE; 5) FASTENER NEAR THE RAM AIR TEMP DOOR ON THE L LOWER SIDE OF THE FUSELAGE WAS LOOSE WHICH REQUIRED A GEAR DOOR SWING TO ALLEVIATE BY MAINT. 6) NUMEROUS AREAS OF PEELING PAINT WERE NOTICED. INQUIRY MADE TO SEE IF THOSE AREAS WERE PREVIOUSLY RECORDED IN THE ACFT MAINT LOG FOR TRACKING (CORROSION ISSUE). THEY WERE NOT ACCORDING TO LCL MAINT AND WERE; THEREFORE; SUBMITTED BY ACARS TO ENSURE THEY WERE APPROPRIATELY DOCUMENTED. ISSUE: APPROX 5 MINS PRIOR TO DEP; A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FLT OFFICE CAME TO INQUIRE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY 'COULD BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE.' WHAT I WILL RELAY IS MY PERCEPTION OF THE FACT SOMEONE FROM THE FLT OPS MGMNT DIVISION FELT THEY NEEDED TO COME TO OUR ACFT BECAUSE WE HAD RPTED DISCREPANCIES AS REQUIRED BY BOTH OUR OPS MANUAL AND THE FARS. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT AT PLT PUSHING IN MY OPINION. ASKING 'WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP?' MIGHT BE A NICE WAY OF DOING IT; BUT UNLESS THE INDIVIDUAL IS A QUALIFIED A&P ON THE AIRBUS OR CAN SOMEHOW MAGICALLY CORRECT MAINT DISCREPANCIES; THERE IS NO NEED FOR A VISIT BY THIS OR ANY OTHER FLT OPS MGMNT PERSONNEL TO THE COCKPIT OF THE ACFT! DO THESE FOLKS VISIT EVERY COCKPIT PRIOR TO DEP IF THEY DON'T HAVE MAINT ISSUES? SADLY; THERE ARE SOME PLTS THAT MIGHT BE INTIMIDATED BY SUCH A VISIT FROM MGMNT. FORTUNATELY; I; AND THE CAPT I WAS FLYING WITH; DON'T FALL INTO THAT GROUP. ACFT ISSUES HAVE TO BE RPTED INTO THE MAINT LOG AS REQUIRED BY OUR SOP. IF THAT RESULTS IN A LATE DEP (WE BLOCKED OUT 3 MINS EARLY); THEN THAT IS THE RESULT. MGMNT PLTS OR ANY OTHER MGMNT REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT HAVE ANY BUSINESS IN THE REAL TIME PREPARATION FOR FLT/DISPATCH. IF THEY DON'T WANT SUCH ISSUES TO RECUR THEN THEY NEED TO ENSURE THAT ACFT ARE APPROPRIATELY MAINTAINED ON A DAILY BASIS.
