And I get the feeling that your fellow FAA inspectors won't like that too much, seeing as to how they have overlooked this for years.
You're going to get a cushy government job and then give yourself
more paperwork?
I think that's part of the problem. Understaffed. Easier to look the other way than do the paperwork.
