Now there are unconfirmed reports that the LHS pilot (the new guy) was operating on an invalid pilot’s license, issued by a training organization that recently had its authority to conduct training for pilots revoked.
Have searched the live report (
NTSB HEARING - DAY 2 - 9AM -5PM - Recapd) of all what is said at the NTSB hearing. The word license is mentioned once but not in the context as an invalid license.
So no sign of the above rumour in the hearing so far.
