Can you give some example of federal offenses that a pilot could commit that were "directly related to his employment"? Certainly there are drug/alcohol offenses that may fit into that category, but do you think hacking a fellow pilot's website has ANYTHING TO DO with the purported offender's services to his/her employer?
