Quite right, but if the guy was bending the rules and doing normal public transport and not aerial work with people "essential to the operation", it makes it a lot worse.
You know, there's one (or more) of these in every country - if the authorities know about them, why can't they be stopped? I keep saying that there should be a qualification for management to be in charge - certainly business school, and especially decision-making courses.
Just another thought
