we can lawyer the heck out of this flight all these years later, if you want. Or we can look at the underlying issue. IMO, If the FAA wants to violate you they will. Even if you think you are in the right or have policy on your side.
of course this is pretty much moot anyway as an ASAP would most likely absolve the pilots.

you conclude based on your “more to the story” theory, they couldn’t have had the weather to depart. I disagree.
obviously, we can do this all day. You can’t prove it was a willful violation, and I can’t prove that it wasn’t.
Again, if you don’t think you can do everything right, and still get violated so be it.
