I agree, but the discussion is on allowing FoC and what that can erode into. Who will QC NAI, Ireland? USA? Norway? Thailand? Who can, in this setup, revoke pilot certificates? What if two countries have audits and find different results?
On a separate note can a pilot legally for as a "contractor" and be issued a 1099, or equivalent? If he is a "contractor" for NAI can he manage his "company" and send someone in his place if he gets sick?
