is regulations are quite stringent guidelines not to be crossed.  That said if you land five minutes late on a Maintenance check flight and the company hammers you have a go at them for being unreasonable and if need be get a lawyer - tie them up, they'll drop it with a warning.  Than fight the warning alll the way.  Don't let helicopter management push you around.  Be prepared to go very far to get them off your back.

Had a company do that over something so petty JC himself could have committed the transgression.  They don't like me and I don't like them but I get the job done.  We tolerate each other, which is fine with me.
