I'm not advocating breaking the rules, but going to the feds on the corporate/charter side of the fence is a good way to nuke your reputation. Even good operators bend the rules a little. When was the last time you saw a 135 crew weighing baggage? 135.121(a)? Do you honestly think a 135 crew will tell a high value client to put their own booze away? Everyone knows what to say on a 299 ride, the POI knows it's all BS, but the signoff happens anyway.

I'm not saying it's right, but it's helpful to have a little SA about this side of the industry. Work for the good operators, and ignore the crappy ones. But only go on a holy crusade with the FAA when you're absolutely sure you won't need a job with the bottom dwellers down the line.
