TreeA10 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 If the Captain received a pardon, did the FO and the FE also get a pardon? I know the FE Was hired at American. (He wrote a very nice tribute on the union website to Cecil Ewell, the Chief Pilot that recently passed away that hired him, after Cecil gave him the second chance most people never get.)

Sua Sponte Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I’m friends with one of the United pilots who was arrested in Scotland trying to fly under the influence. Unfortunately, that wasn’t his first alcohol related incident as a pilot. I will say he completely turned his life around and has been sober since and is still in the aviation community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that we were glad he was able to overcome all obstacles and return. Great credit to the CEO Dasburg. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergman Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Damn, I’d say shit got real... ”Whatever the trio’s intentions, it was later established in court that by the end of the night Prouse’s crewmates had ordered seven pitchers, and he’d had 17 rum and cokes.” Good read overall.

Gas Man Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Kirchner was a LCA at Atlas. I did IOE with him. He ended up the MEC for Atlas and I think he still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
