Surely anyone arranging flights for paying customers should know and record exactly what qualifications and experience their pilots have, which he didn't, because he didn't care.
That's endangering the safety of an aircraft in my book.
its also illegal, although not criminal. the CAA will have something to say to Henderson for sure.
