Pace,
it kind of comes across that you are apportioning the responsibility of the Seneca V fuel exhaustion not to Weaver, but to the ferry company that assigned the work to weaver.
they have already put their hands up and admitted that they dropped the ball and took weaver's representations at 'face value'.
fair enough, they admitted they were not as stringent as they could have been and have since adjusted their internal processes.
notwithstanding, that does not exempt weaver, he willingly and knowingly presented that he had the qualifications to undertake the work with the complicit knowledge that he was not capable of doing so.
further, as the named insured PIC he was responsible for fuel planning.
by his complicit actions to gain work that he knew he was not in the position to undertake, he, by presentation of his 'credentials' and acceptance of the work sought personal gain by misrepresenting his capabilities.
further, as PIC he was responsible for the fuel management, which he mis-managed and left someone's aircraft with a big bill and a damage history affecting its asset value.
weaver publicly denied he was PIC on the aircraft, despite being the only named insured PIC, so there alone he put the aircraft into a situation outside of the insurance policy, he also publicly claimed that the cause of the incident was due to a thrown cylinder [sic].
please don't try to paint weaver as an innocent party, he is a liar and fraud and is nothing more than an accident looking for somewhere to happen who frankly doesn't care who may kill, the damage he causes, who pays for it, nor does he care for the regulations that govern aircraft operations and the privileges of a license.
