How much trouble?

I remember seeing a list somewhere recently of typical FAA punishments, and as said before they would probably revoke your certificates. Unintentional stuff, like altitude and course deviations and runway incursions would get you a 60 day suspension. While blatant operations almost always ended up in revokation for the pilot, and in this type of operation almost no punishment for the company. It seems the feds find it easier to bust the pilot than to try to find the evidence to go after the company, since all the evidence is usually hearsay.

Just bump up your log book to IFR mins and.................

that has never happend in the history of aviation, lol.

If you just got caught into IFR, probably start at 90 days, negotiated down to 60 days or so. If you took off and did a whole flight, a revocation.
The company fines START at $5,000.00 and move upwards,,rapidly. And the company can't get out of it, since we all accepted "operational" control. So in essence, the company dispatched you into those conditions.
Remind the boss.

Thanks for all the good advice.
It's all been a big help in reminding me not to even think of doing something stupid and risking my tickets.

Have you caught yet? if not quit the company when you read this message, if you have already been caught, you are most likely toast, get an atty., there is no excuse for knowing and in advance breaking a reg. It is premeditated, like first-degree murder.

I'm gonna go with complete revocation of all certificates. I've heard of people gettin 90 day suspensions for not writing up a landing light. I always try and take the attitude that its gonna be that real A$$HOLE of an inspector thats just lookin to hang someone that is gonna ramp me.

Remember...its the companys job to get the freight there. Its your job to fly the plane. Of course there gonna try and push you to fly. Its your job to say no. After all you think once your tickets get pulled the companys gonna keep paying you until you find another livelyhood?

Oh yah...if your flying PAX around in IFR I don't think it would be too much of a stretch for the feds to try and bring some sort of criminal charges against you as well.
