As an aside
As an aside,
I will not speak ill of the past CPs from Gator because I never had negative [professional] dealings with any of them however I knew three of them professionally and I can say that as an impressionable junior pilot I always respected their position.
I do remember a Gator CP turning down a flight due to DG concerns which we ended up taking on (in this particular instance with this particular model we were in receipt of a differing opinion from a Perth-based DG education provider). This was a profitable run and there were idle Gator aircraft and aircrew sitting ready for work so it spoke highly to me of that particular CP's gumption with sticking to what he believed to be an illicit flight.
Props to that pilot.
