Narrative:
While clearing a maintenance write-up, the chief pilot and one of his assistants stood to the right side of aircraft intentionally within the view of crew, trying to intimidate us into finishing the write-up faster. After we finished they both looked at their watches and shook their heads. The flight left 4 mins late, and arrived 1 min late. This is nothing but petty intimidation on the part of our management.
