Leadzepplin,
Could you possibly post the source of this article and the date it was published?
Criminal charges against pilots that make mistakes are extremely dangerous to professional airmen. I know there have been problems with this sort of thing before, particularly in Asian countries but I would never have expected it in Canada.
I'm trying to get legal help for the pilot so that we can avoid legal precedent should he be convicted. Any information you can give me as to the source and date of the story or the venue for the pending trial would be most helpful.
I'll check back to get the info.
Thank you.
