Totally agree with you.
I find it strange that so called professional aviators are standing up for this idiot. We are all aware of the rules; if we are stupid enough to blatantly flaunt them then, if caught, we must expect to pay the penalty (whatever that may be) . If this particular person is prosecuted by the authority (and I sincerely hope he/she is), no sympathy, serves him/her right. Don't expect me to lobby the CAA for mercy when they invite him/her to Gatwick for a chat.
Bring back hanging I say,
