Hi Corndog
Well if this nasty operator has disabbled the Hobbs during the night, the pilot must write on the logbook "Hobbs inoperate" and has to log his flight hours, isn't it ? Unless the operator is also the pilot ? Otherwise for which benefit would the pilot take such a risk for his licence and his security (150 extra hours !) ???
About the arrested guys in Ndjamena, are you sure it is that simple, on one side the good white boys who arrive for Law enforcement and on the other side the nasty black policemen who do not respect anything ???
About Interpol be carefull they will not start with your boss
