So shameless. It’s repulsive.

If I was him, I would be counting myself VERY lucky I wasn't in jail. There is NO WAY I would contemplate sticking my head above the parapet and essentially trolling the families of 22/8 by asking if I could go and play at flying facking planes again!

In my eyes, he 'got away with it' so he should have to pay the price. Berk.

Just far enough away from LDC
One of the accusations was that he was arrogant and ignored prior warnings.

Now, the way he is behaving underlines that may well have been an accurate character description of him

Perhaps they could sell tickets for his court hearing and we all get a chance to tell him what we think. Not that he will listen

The stng in the tail is that the report states that he could apply for a licence in another country. if a foreign licence were granted, would it have to be honoured in the UK or do all non British international airline pilots have to have a UK licence?

The arrogance of this guy is unreal. I don’t understand how you could do something like he did and not have it completely break you. I’d never want to go near a plane ever again, let alone want to start flying them.

I’m not 100% sure but I believe without a CAA licence he’d be unable to fly commercially in the UK and would be limited to 28 days a year of flying for pleasure through a licence issued overseas. He’d also only be allowed to fly under VFR rules (good visibility and a clear sight of the ground).

However the CAA would likely have the authority stop him if he ever tried to fly in the country. Seeing as they’ve refused his licence application that should give them legal grounds to block any attempt to fly in this country even under a foreign issued licence.

I can’t believe we’re even having this conversation though. The guy is scum and should be in prison, in my view.

If only we could guarantee that the slimy entitled git won't find an equally slimy lawyer somewhere to argue for his civil rights, or whatever other sliver of legal chicanery, to fly again. European Court of Human Rights 2027 anyone?
