From the media report:-
The Civil Aviation Authority said it would withhold his pilot's security clearance for 10 years for breaching its regulations and having a criminal conviction.
StudentinDebt, you say:-
In any event this is moot since his licence has been suspended for 10 years, the conviction would have been spent by the time he is eligible to fly commercially again so would not show on a CRC.
Has his flying licenece been suspended? Or is it that he cannot hold an airside pass for ten years?
