Define "problem?"

Trust me, MEL lists are common and I'd bet over 50% of planes flying have something listed on the release.

Is it serious? Most times the planes can fly w/o it/them (the items) or they wouldn't be allowed to....and of course a good pilot would not fly a questionable plane.

Would a passenger fly a plane that was just lying in parts in front of them at the gate? Yes...I see it, not everyday, but too often
