2. The US FAA have little practical interest, as they are not responsible for enforcement outside the US, the pilot involved is no longer with us and so has no US licence to lose, and the practical owners (whoever and wherever they may turn out to be) do not operate in the US.
3. The UK CAA will continue to give this murky area the good ignoring which appears to have gone on for years. A moderate increase in carefully judged enforcement action would probably do something at little cost to level the playing fields between those who play by the rules - and incur the costs thereof - and those who cheat the system and thumb their noses at the formal checks and balances. That those checks and balances are based on painful experience seems never to register with those cowboys. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of relevant regulation - just an appalling lack of responsibility in monitoring and enforcing.
4. The extent to which the responsibilities of those behind this whole sorry saga are exposed will be based on the various financial and 'political' interests of the parties. With some £15M in play and some deep pockets to keep the lawyers busy, this one could run and run.
Cynical? Moi?
and rightly so.

McKay says Cardiff City are ‘Throwing me under the bus’.
The club who were organising a nice safe commercial flight for their very expensive new signing are overruled by a cowboy who hires another cowboy who sub-contracts the job to another cowboy. And now cowboy #1 wonders why his actions are being investigated?
Poor poor man! From what I’ve learned so far, ‘under the bus’ is just where he (and his No 1 pilot) belong!
