Others' wrongdoings do not make mine right. If done on regular basis, the amount of MORs would raise a flag, enabling the scenario to be trapped by the system. Were those within the limit on the PLOGs?

In the case discussed the company's stance at court is that you can commence a duty planned on the use of discretion. Well, not in my EASA based OM-A, but maybe the wording of regulations has changed since.
Many of us, over-the-channel or even AOC-of-convenience operators, do look towards the UK for best practice. Hence my question about UK CAA stance on this, present day.
