Let me correct my last statement, did some more research. Charges were dropped due to an "expert" witnesses testimony where he states that 'any pilot with similar experience level would have reacted the same way!' Apparently in Austria this is grounds enough to drop charges?!?!?!

Guess the lesson learned is hire inexperienced low timers because they will not be held accountable for their actions.
