----- at least you know where the bar has been set.
Havick,
While I have no knowledge of this individual as an FOI, I have observed what can be called the "poacher turned gamekeeper" syndrome all too often.
In short, now armed with a great deal of power, the newly minted FOI/AWI (usually with a less than stellar record of performance with multiple former employers) sets forth to enforce with great enthusiasm his or her version of extreme interpretations of the regulations.
The one that always gets me is during a flight test, when said FOI demands levels of performance that we know damned well they are not capable.
Tootle pip!!
