Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately this is the way the PC world is going, "jobsworths" hiding behind convenient (and sometimes inappropriate) rules to achieve their desired result....especially regarding uncomfortable but perhaps nonetheless embarrassingly correct employees.

Typical "I follow-the-rules-and-am-therefore-always-right" reply. How can you justify comparing compliance with defined flight limitations (if you do this , you will crash) with judgemental decisions i.e. chartered aircraft from known customer, known passenger list, therefore = risk of endangering aircraft if passenger on flight deck = zero. I see no similarity.
I didn't have the honour during my time working for HM of meeting Pablo, but have been privileged (and still am) to meet pilots who were / are prepared to make their own decisions instead of referring to the rules for support.
Pablo - fly with you anytime!
F-e-driver - not so sure.
