You sound quite knowledgable so i'm going to pick on you if you don't mind.

The CAA will only revoke a licence or rating if the holder is deemed an unsuitable person to hold the licence or rating; in most cases that would be the result of a court conviction.

I do seem to remember something from the article saying he was interviewed by two people at Gatwick, but one of the two could see what had happened and basically brought the interview to an end. However that was after he was told to stop instructing (i think). If someone who has the article could enlighten me further, or even post the whole article i didnīt buy a copy and it wasnīt that long.

That still doesnīt explain why this chap was "set upon" by PLD, and just exactly what powers they have. If the CAA thought heīd been negligent shirly the enforcement dept had all the facts and would have prosecuted? For the CAA ARE dept to say "no mate your off the hook" then PLD say "right now itīs my go" seems just a little unfair.
