Datsun 120Y,
the company has been nice over all this, the guy has merely been fired. They have concluded it didn't occur in flight. So it isn't a gross negligence/safety issue and CAA aren't involved in a criminal conviction, so he isn't looking a court appearance, he keeps his P fund which he wouldn't if found guilty, he has the ability to fly again somewhere else as he keeps his licence, which he wouldn't if found guilty. Kindly he also isn't sued for damages by the company which would bankrupt him, and then some.
Anyone here who seriously doesn't think that his actions damaged the reputation of the company and that a bunch of lawyers couldn't put a dollar figure on the cost of said damages needs their head examined.
