From way back at the beginning:

True, but he was not in the US so what is your point?
My Point was that depending on your home country's air/crimal laws he could have had far greater consequences heaped upon him, or far less as the case maybe.???
I was trying to point out that he has his most important asset
his license and his
freedom---He has the chance to move on with his life as a pilot--- this gentleman sounds like a talented aviator reading some of the writings in the military aviation part of Pprune---I hope that he should find a very happy setting that better suits his ways---I wish that for us all however
Although the details are very sketchy in my mind---
---remember the case of the NWA captain who was sacked, imprisoned and fined for being intoxicated while on duty?
He was later allowed to return but first he needed to re-do the whole entire ATPL over, I mean C-172 stuff--- IR multi, high performance/ complex you kinda know the drill....Mr. Mason should feel grateful
And believe me I think the law stinks, but we are not legislators or politicians---perish the thought---
And
as far as the USA and "homeland security" TSA?/FAA/ NTSB/and Washington AND FEMA here
