From: Do I come here often?
The CAA/ARE did state a number of years ago that they would prosecute anyone running out of fuel, I believe on the grounds of negligence. As for removing a license on the grounds of behaviour, thats a tricky area, what did they remove Maurice Kirk's for?

Even if VH is sent for re-training would it help? The man comes across as mentally unsuitable to be allowed in an aircraft in the first place. He will probably just use his last foul up to raise his public profile thinking that any publicity is good publicity.

Lets face it if a judge sent him away he'd probably sit in his cell waiting for Algy and Ginger to spring him without another care in the world. The more I read about his stupidity the more I think that some form of psychometric testing might be useful when issuing the first PPL medical, similar to, but simpler than the requirements for the airlines and other commercial operations.
