1. JAR-OPS is after my time.
2. By sites like this, I meant any off airfield site, especially if the aircraft was operated for its owner by company pilots.
3. Chief pilot responsible for flight safety? A direct reply from a Flight Ops Inspector when the question was put to him.
My company didn't have anybody with the grand title of Ops Director. If one person (in my case the Chief Pilot) had responsibility for "getting the job done if at all possible" and "flight safety", surely you can see the conflict of interest? I could give several examples, but not here in public, in print.
I had hoped that things had improved since my day but an occurance such as this would seem, sadly, to show that they have not.
