The dickheads can't prosecute everyone.
There's lots of that done out in the bush where the chance of being caught is close to zero. With SIDs and cables and impossible medicals, not to mention biennials there will be a lot more free flying. Too bad that so many aircraft are now less likely to see a LAME than ever before. The costs for some have become more than their aircraft are worth. People do what they can within reason, we have suffered and watched an industry go down for no reason except to keep 830 @ average $139,000 in work. What a sick joke, stuff up the rules so badly that instead of fixing the whole lot we now have Mr. Skidmore's 'Tiger Team', his words believe it or not, all 26 working full time on a bunch of fixes, exemptions and alterations. Talk about make work, truly the worst public waste of money, you could not invent this disaster and be believed.
