You don't have to break the SOPs to make your point (and neither, I believe, should you!). Quite the reverse, just WORK TO RULE! No discretion, no fly with ANY defects on a/c, no visual approaches - just fly the full procedural approach, etc - in fact follow the SOPs to the letter and some more!
I wish the Easy Pilots good luck - the industry has seen Ts and Cs eroding on a weekly basis and someone needs to take a stand.
