A retired Delta tech in Memphis told me he'd rather chase 3 intermittent faults than 1 hard failure, and I finally get why
He said hard failures teach you nothing new after the first hour, but a squawk that only shows up when the cabin is cold or the plane is at a certain bank angle forces you to actually understand the whole system instead of just swapping a box, and that one comment changed how I write up every troubleshooting log now, so I'm curious if anyone else here keeps a personal note on the weird intermittent ones or just closes the write-up once it passes.
