mmm well I have had the experience that the best judge, jury and executioner is the paying public. word of mouth will travel like a wild fire.
i unfortunately had a pilot who was going that quite bit lower etc etc. on set piece tourist work. inside a few days the trade dropped from six to two hours per day. - and took nearly four weeks to slowly crawl back up again.
me and that pilot, well we parted company, eh.
other helicopters around doing the wrong thing would impact on the trade as well.
i had another instance where an unrelated pilot did a very low beat up at the same tourist venue, i got to see the statement that he had made. I said tear it up for god's sake, he's in enough trouble already, - he had detailed his activity down to a few inches above the tourists. "can't" says the solicitor, "its already been submitted". bloody hell, I said, 'plead insanity.'
as others have said the law system knows nought about what should be severely punished in our game. he got off with a warning, couldn't believe it.
