Assuming the story’s went as you said CXT, the only thing I have questions about is why a company repressive would push a pilot to a FAR violation (exceeding block limit). did they not know better? Or were they knowingly pushing pilots to violate FARs to “get the mission done”. TBH neither are acceptable. But I also have to say I’ve never had an interaction like you describe.
Sometimes they don't even know the FOM, let alone the FARs. My probationary meetings took place during jacket season. So I was down in the office with one of them, and at the end he was like "Oh, just BTW I see you don't have your brass on your shirt, just make sure you're wearing that properly," Me, with literally less than 6 months on property: "Actually, the FOM says that name tags and wings are optional on the shirt if the jacket is worn." CP: "huh, I didnt' know that, I guess I'll have to look that up."
