DPApilot
GUYSH! GUYSH! GUYSH!
Still, nobody has answered my question:
Why should the pilot be expected to put their certificates at risk simply because their company does not have enough procedures in places to get the flight going without breaking rules?
I would risk (and i know some FAA guys, talked to them, they said they wouldnt really look at this, it's not something they'd violate you for) (but thats just them) my certificate to save someones life. whats the worst? i cant be a pilot anymore? i'd be able to sleep at night knowing i may have saved that persons life, i cant live under the pretence "well, it's my companys fault, and my morals are fine!"
but thats just my own opinion.
