I take it that that shot was aimed at me, and yes while I have worked for the government, it was 25 years ago. I have not worked for the government for far longer than I ever did. I have, however, worked in aviation all my life and it is an industry that is defined by rules and regulations. I'm not saying that I like all of them, or that I think some are ridiculous or not, but I don't get to pick and choose which ones apply to whatever task is at hand, so if I choose to ignore one and get nailed for it, the problem is mine. Some posters can whinge all they want, but all they come across as is petulant and self-entitled.
