By calling the guy a "dope" you have already prejudged him with very limited and unsubstantiated information. I learnt long ago not to take info in the press of any form as even remotely approaching the true position and that seems to be the common opinion of most PPRuners on most Aviation subjects commented on in these Forums.
If he is as accused, he will undoubtedly take court action and your wish will be granted. Maybe that result will not be as some on this Forum would wish?
If he is as he orginally claimed, an offended bystander, then there is a very good chance that he will quietly be paid off and we on PPRune will never hear any more of the matter. Time will tell who is right but being a "Common Carrier" does mean that whatever happens the law has some say in the final outcome.
