Consequences of FAA certificate suspension?
Hi all,
I was doing a FARs ground with a student today and we were going through the whole "8 hours bottle to throttle" thing regarding alcohol. We got talking about certificate suspension or revocation in the event of not providing a sample upon request. He asked me about the consequences of getting suspended as far as a career in aviation goes. As I haven't come across anyone that has been suspended yet, I was unable to answer him properly. I ventured a guess that employers would take certain things more seriously than others, say getting a DUI being worse than say busting airspace or a TFR.
So has anyone any personal experience in this area, and how has it affected your ability to get work afterwards. Is it a problem getting insured afterwards or anything like that. And is a suspension, a suspension? Does it matter what you got suspended for?
