Any of the elected Vice-Presidents will temporarily assume the duties of the President until an election takes place to replace the President.

Alternatively the Chief of Air Source may decide to hold an election where the members can decide on applicants. Conditions of for applications will be promulgated at that time and procedurally will be as stated in paragraph 2a above.

5. Flight Removal
Flights performed and filed by members may be removed by any EMT member under the following circumstance[s]:

a. If the flight is found to be a duplicate through automated or manual research.

b. If the flight is found to be "not complete" through automated or manual research. "Not complete" is described in section 2.2.2.0 of the AirSource Empolyee Handbook.

c. If the aircraft used to perform the flight is not within standards as per section 2.0.3.0 of the Employee Handbook.

d. If the flight time is 30% or more [EMT discretion] of the "scheduled" time [this is automatically calculated on the excessive flight time page using the aircraft cruise speed divided by the number of miles between departure and arrival airports +30 minutes] without the member entering remarks as to why the flight was so long [excessive time].

e. If the EMT member reviewing the flight[s] suspects that the flight[s] were filed in error or forged. This is definitely a "gray area" and must be used with care and reasonable suspicion is usually not enough. A trend [determined by automated or manual methods from their logbook or other media], remark from the pilot, remarks from other pilot[s], or some kind of hard evidence will be required from the EMT member, and must be presented to at least 1 other EMT member and approved before removal.
