Troop the buggers once in a while, if the procedure is in the book and they willfully ignore it, they are breaking the rules and need to be told so.
It's a long time since I was in but if we had followed procedures by the book I doubt whether any aircraft at all would have been generated which would have generated a ****storm from above. Of course sometimes things went wrong through not following the book which generated a ****storm from above. Heads they win, tails you loose.
Keep the flying program going and we'll look the other way until the board of enquiry at which point your on your own.
