No, not a reasonable response
This what we call a mutual masterbation of the "three stooges" at EJME. Sorry, I cannot take credit for the nickname...it comes direct from the staff itself.
Involving the GCAA is probably a good idea at this point. Request a complete audit of the management, pilots and operational procedures of EJME and cc Mr. Duckworth while we're about it.
Who wants to make the first call?
