Its a warped world we live and work in
I agree with almost all the posters, regulation has no benefit without enforcement. Most Authorities are pussy cats, or worse.
I am not even going to talk about the Austrians.
I have been in the corporate charter business for 40 years, man and boy. I can count on the fingers of (both) hands the number of times I have been 100% legal.
Yes thats what I said. Very few times 100% legal.
The major reasons being the lack of any defects in tech log. (for several months of daily operations. Not one defect). The lack of an accurate W and B. Passengers baggage in the cabin, and not secured. Over weight take offs, and liberal interpetation of the FTL.
Now please shoot the messenger.
I have reported drunk crew members to the authority, and the company. The response from the company, well he is a good pilot. Response from the Authority, well I am sure you are mistaken. (The full bottle of Vodka on departure, and 1/2 full, on arrival, must be due to the high diff pressure).
