DCA revokes Orient Thai's MD-80 AOC temporarily. They continue to fly.
I am told the DCA was pressured into taking some action as a result of the the publicity surrounding the fraudulent check rides.
Supposedly, those who performed the fraud at Orient Thai were fired.
Supposedly, the Airline Operating Certificate for the MD-80s was temporarily revoked. This would affect domestic One-Two-Go flights only. Oddly, those flights are still happening.
Scapegoats are not accountability....
