Remember that they will blame you for any mistakes if you take on the responsibility and solve problems for them. If BNE flights are always delayed 5 mins to check the pitots are correct then they will soon enough get the message. If you get some push back just quote them chapter and verse of the manual and the problem will become theirs to deal with. Nothing gets solve quicker in aviation than an issue that affects a manager's bonus
Our choppers had the choice of using Mobil Jet oil, as used in our engines, or a particular automotive automatic thransmission fluid in the main transmission driving the rotor. Company decided to use the automotive product because it was one third the price, trouble was after a period of time the transmission pressure would drop into the yellow, when it happened I got into the habit of shutting down at an out station and having maintenance come and do an oil change because badgering management to change to Mobil was getting no where. Only had to call out maintenance a couple of times and management saw the wisdom of changing to Mobil, an hours flight time for the rescue ship could buy buckets and buckets of Mobil Jet..
