    @A&A Mods: I posted this yesterday and it would seem it was deleted/moved/unapproved. If it's not appropriate for this forum, just drop me a PM and I'll take it from there. Thanks. -Shield.

    "A Ryanair pilot who refused to carry bags of company cash on a flight from Manchester to Dublin has told the Employment Appeals Tribunal no documentation or security clearance had been provided when the money was brought aboard by ground crew in September 2014."

    Full article from The Irish Times here.

    My question: Was the pilot justified in law in refusing to accept undocumented cash in the cockpit? The article seems to infer that he was just being awkward, and that it was common practice as the money was used as either a float of sorts for on-board purchases, or was the proceeds of on-board sales.

    Also, on the face of things, had he accepted sealed bags of unknown amounts of money in the cockpit, and a CAA inspection discovered the undocumented cash, just how much trouble would he have found himself in?

    Thanks for any replies/comments/insights.
