NOT a big deal, none issue. FAA publish the MMEL http://fsims.faa.gov/PICResults.aspx?mode=Publication&doctype=MMEL

Each operator will download the airplane type MMEL and compare it with the actual equipment on board the aircraft. The operator will then adjust the MMEL so it matches the aircrafts actual equipment. In the beginning of the MEL there should be a company statement and sometimes an Individual Maintenance Inspector want the operator to use specific language that FAA Inspector prefer.

The process of correcting Manuals are very fluid and usually goes on indefinitely. There is an ongoing process of Manual revisions due to various reasons. They can be new FAA mandates, manufactures mandates and change of procedures or the operator feels that a specific procedure does not work they way they expected so they change it.

There are two sorts of MEL's a Fleet MEL which will cover the whole fleet IF each aircraft is identical, or an Individual MEL for each airplane. In this case I think BLTA wants a fleet and leaving options in that they do not have, FAA can be stingy when it come to that. (Just speculating,not a fact)
