I do not think that is the issue. The issue always has been the liability that you expose your self to by being the second signatory. I would never be the second signatory. Never. Question if I did am I covered by the BBL??? And then what is the cover- it would have to be several million at least in the new world today??
And suppose as the owner of a self launcher I want to replicate Grosser's Newman to Jandakot flight-when I put the thing together at Newman who is gonna sign for it? Begs the question what does independent operator mean when I am dependent on someone else by that rule. It all equals rubbish!! And if a I have GPL do I STILL have to get another signature???? I am not for ever my brother's keeper and neither is he mine. I am tired, tired of the nanny state.
