what we have here is a failure to communicate.

MASON32 is correct.

What is against the FAR's is that as PIC you failed to log in the maintenance log book an aircraft discrepncy and carried the aircraft for a few legs or that the SIC failed to mention a discrepency to the PIC. What is against the company policy is to violate any far's and to be unsafe in your performance as PIC or SIC.

Now is that more clear.

Hell, in ORD the pilots deice aircraft just because the atis says flurries but it is clear skies. Comply with FMP-1. First you have to read it.
