I think you'd find that a phone call to our own regulatory affairs office over at the Ops centre will confirm that.
I thought that you had been here long enough to realize that these people will lie or mis-represent the truth to you at every opportunity. Just look at the mirrors and smoke emails about leave. BM in the regulatory office is another of our whipped managers, who does what he is told otherwise he loses his job, same with ED.
You are applying logic and reason to a management that optimizes everything possible, even if it is totally wrong or illegal. Why the GCAA is inactive I have no idea, way above my pay grade that one.
