Garthicus,
Fastone obviously knew that there was something amiss but came here for second opinion(s).
There obviously is something amiss but because fastone has declined to reveal the operators identity or indeed his location it would indicate, to anyone with even the slightest notion of life in the real world, that there isn't an internal authority whom he feels he can approach for fear of jeopardising his position.
What has he done that is unprofessional? He hasn't brought any operator into disrepute, he's just asking for second opinion(s) of what is written in the Operations Manual before he may decide to pursue the matter further. It is a Commanders responsibility to ensure that his aircraft is operated legally, how he chooses to source that required information is not dictated thus his actions fall within the parameters of a Commander and his responsibilities.
And good on him for coming to Flight Ops, Crewing and Dispatch, many a pilot will feel he is above talking to us lot, particularly to ask us for advice
