Thanks for all the contribution so far. The concerns are noted but I'm already fully aware of my responsibilities and the consequences of issues that may arise. Liability is something I do take very seriously but can only endeavour to do my best in the position and guide the pilots under me to be just as responsible. At the end of the day, every pilot is also somewhat liable for their own actions as well, even though the CP takes the heaviest fall.
I appreciate the advice, help and concerns so far...keep them coming!
don't answer like this to Casa... At the end of the day "your" pilots are not liable - you are... Everything they do is a reflection of you...
Never scrouge on training and ensuring compliance... Of course there is some elastic in the rope but definately don't give to much or it will be a noose.
Replace some words from above and you'll get the idea...

Remember "your pilots" are a team for which you are the captain, coach, umpire and cheer squad. Boone is "under" you, and although everyone bears some responsibilty YOUR in charge and bear the full responsibilty and liabilty for your operation.
Have fun - good luck
cheers
