unabungler,
I understand that feelings are running high right now, but be careful what one puts in print. There may have been a myriad of reasons for granting the dispensation, The Capt could have been a C&T, and been renewing the landing recency en route.
If the recency had indeed expired then the AOA should take it up with the CAD.
I feel that at this stage it is not wise to upset the department that we may need in the next few weeks on unsubstantiated rumours . Let us ascertain all the facts first, then come to a conclusion. If there is a case to answer the Ombudsman is probably the place to start.
I urge you to have a rethink and withdraw your remarks for every ones sake. Thanks very much
