My licence and medical were valid throughout the contract because I am diligent and careful, but nevertheless I was surprised that they never even bothered to check.
I happen to know that one of the other contractors who still flies for them does not have a medical, nor is even rated on the class.
Donnu how that is handled in the UK, but if I lend my car I have to check if the person has a valid licence. If an accident happens and the drivers got no licence, sh.it hits the fan for me as an owner...
I take it was not commercial ops you did ?
