Pilottete,
mate!! before you even look at accepting a CP position have a good hard THINK!!!.
I suggest you have a good read of the criminal code, then have a good look at the penalties for "STRICT LIABILITY"and what it actually means. Then consider that most of the supposed experts who will be your judges couldnt hold a job in the industry for longer than five minutes, but are now the elite, the self appointed experts on everything aviation.
They will never have to take responsibility for any of their decisions ever again, they and their ego's are protected species.
You as chief pilot however, are always liable,regardless, with a potential prison sentence in it if you screw up, or are perceived to have screwed up, or any of your staff screw up.
Consider... there is ample evidence that these so called experts will LIE under oath in court...manufacture evidence to fit you up if they dont like you..etc etc...Do you really understand the Reg's???...not even they do!!..hence the vast volumes of advice etc produced to give them guidance on how to interpret them, and even then it still comes down to what an individual thinks!! and that could be one of them you had an issue with because what they were trying to impose on you was not safe...That leaves you as a chief pilot stumbling through a fog of indecision, with a potential jail sentence in it if you step into the spiders web of an FOI with a point to push.....Mate they cannot pay you enough money to accept that level of liability...
The title may sound nice, and look good on the CV, but its a poison chalice, believe an old digger.
