The jail term may be confusing this.

In a "Western" environmemt we prefer to keep the law out of it.

In a case such as this the licensing authority would probably cancel the licence pending re-train and re-check.

The employer would probably bump the guy down to provisional F/O pending re-train and re-check, with a possible never to be given command again note on file.

Nothing so far says this is not the case, and some posters have suggested that the employer, at least, has put limits in place.

I think we need more info, and like others I'm not happy with courts sorting out pilot liability.
