I hate regulation, but it's the only thing that keeps the non professionals in line...here are some ideas..
Force any new hire to walk into the FAA and show someone his logbooks...and spend 5 minutes explaining them...this will eliminate 99.9% of the kids, liars ect...they wouldn't have the balls to do this..
If you wanna fly a Tprop....1500 hours...a Jet 3500 hrs...that's it...no pay to fly, no if ands or buts.....
On flight plans...have a new wt/bal section....pilot puts BOW/MTOW/Pax/Fuel wts....
A cursory examination by the FAA that 9 pax on this flight can't weigh 900 lbs....or that 2000 bls of fuel isn't going to get you from San Fran to MIA in a Citation......
Accountability and Transparency....that's all we need...
