Or the Chief Pilot if you have one. Issues with the owner shouldn't be yours to fight. Then again, be diplomatic about it. It may have been ok at that stage of the flight. Not that it really matters but I'm assuming this is a Lear? If the owner wants you out of the company then you're out. That's why he's the owner. Had nothing to do with fairness. Just the way the cookie crumbles. Start looking today just in case the hammer drops tomorrow. Inappropriate doesn't always equal unsafe. There's a rule under 135 where you're supposed to 'serve' the alcoholic beverages. So how does that work if you can't get out of your seat? |

Let's not get too sanctimonious. We all know what happens out there; but is it dangerous? No, mostly not. Yes there have been accidents ( small child stepping on the cyclic in a helicopter) essentially caused by an overbearing owner. But reaching up and turning off a landing light is not unsafe. Just to name an example as we don't know what he did previously. Getting out of your seat with nothing going on, is not unsafe. Have I gotten out of my seat ? Oh sure and everybody has, for various reasons. I call it customer service. |
