I would of thought that all pilots "know" the rules, but is is situational as to the reasons they are not followed. If CASA "enforced" pay, hours and working conditions in general then I reckon this would help stop this.
Answering the questions correctly/passing the flight review on the day is completely different to applying those practices day to day. What about the poor low timer that has just been threatened with the sack because they wouldn't take of with 30% reserve instead of 45% reserve. The problem as I see it is that the rules are not enforced, and that includes industrial relations as well as those that CASA are in charge of.
