Never worked there so I cannot say, I have a good friend that did and would be very surprised indeed, if this particular individual flew 1kg over the lagal limit or "knowingly" jumped in an non-airworthy aircraft.
He was there not long ago, if things have changed to the point where overlimits have now become acceptable that is the fault of both the incumbent pilots and the Chef Pilot, it would not have been like that for long, nor should it stay like that for long.
There is nothing quite as useless as a meaningless maxim
