Sure, I'll review the Regs.....especially this one:
Sec. 121.135
[Manual contents.]
(a) Each manual required by Sec. 121.133 must--
(1) Include instructions and information necessary to allow the personnel concerned to perform their duties and responsibilities with a high degree of safety;
(2) Be in a form that is easy to revise;
(3) Have the date of last revision on each page concerned; and
(4) Not be contrary to any applicable Federal regulation and, in the case of a flag or supplemental operation, any applicable foreign regulation, or the certificate holder's operations specifications or operating certificate.
Basically it says the companies materials is what I go by to adhere to the FARs, so it is in fact a reg I have to follow what it says in the manual (barring emergency authority).
And a letter? What is he/she gonna write in that? Are they gonna threaten my job because I denied a JS to a fed who ran up at the last minute?
Don't get me wrong, if we have time and IF the FAA person is on company business then go ahead, but if he/she stomps down the jetway when we are all buttoned up with a JS in place and just about to push back, then no. Catch the next flight. Send me a letter or call my CP.
