Their justification was customs stuff with it being an intl mil charter (which when I got them to explain the nitty gritty was not actually valid, but at that point it was like tugging at a stubborn mule). The duty pilot and scheduling both said no problem, go for it. It is the charter department that is the sole push back here. They would have had no legs to stand on not allowing us to ride in the back on a domestic leg.
