The Captain shall not begin a flight unless the appropriate Jeppesen aeronautical charts are on board. The Company will provide Jeppesen Enroute and Approach Charts to each Pilot. In addition, flight planning and airport analysis documents are maintained in OCC. Responsibility for Jeppesen Revision.: · If a revision is distributed while a Pilot is flying a sequence, the Pilot is not responsible for that revision until returning at the end of that sequence. · If a revision is distributed at the Pilot’s base before departing on a sequence, the Pilot is responsible to have revised pages inserted and/or removed as instructed on the Manual Transmittal Sheet. The revision number must also be logged on the Record of Revisions in the manual for that sequence. Jeppesens must be revised before referencing your charts on the Flight Deck in preparation for pre-flight activities. · If the revision is not in the Pilot’s V-File, the Pilot should check with the base manager to obtain the current revision.

We need to comply with the FOM, right?
That's hardcore. If that's the case how it's specifically addressed in your FOM, I would say show at scheduled show time and take the delay. Easier said than done; I know there's serious pressure and nobody wants to be the guy sticking their neck out.

What a silly little game.
