Yes that is correct. The point being that the CAA (in the UK) only look at the company records. Our CAA Ops. Inspector was as useful as a chocolate teapot.
The choice was do it or look for another job. Some companies lose (note one 'o') records when it suits them.
Much the same way in which deliberate adding errors would be made to the loadsheet in order to reduce the weight below MTOW.
The company I refer too is no longer in business but these operators will always be with us.
