Our FSDO is in bed with Management. Our POI and his cronies, go out weekly and play golf with our CEO and his cronies.
Excellent point you have there, but at Pinnacle, the only thing the FAA is concerned about is whether or not they will be able to keep their overpaid FAA jobs as inspectors, without having to do hardly any work. When they visit our recurrent ground school classes, we bring up the same illegal practices that our company does, and all they say is "ok, thanks, I'll look into that." It's just a dog and pony show.
