I'm sure none of us really wants a fellow aviator to be grounded and all reasonable steps should be taken to ensure that he can continue to fly amongst us, but only if he does so in a safe and competent manner. If that requires lots of help and training, and more importantly, the pilot is willing to play his part and take it on board, then that would be a much better result.
I agree with these sentiments. The guy with only 130 hours was a complete novice. Although he was a complete idiot he does have a spirit of adventure and should be given a chance by all of us.
I am all for retraining I am all for restrictions even a back ground check through the medical department but he should be given another chance to prove himself and approach aviation in a more knowing and responsible way.
