The Chief Administrative Law Judge of the NTSB took a look at the facts as he is paid to do. Although he did not make your list of four, he had reviewed all information pertaining to this subject and somehow his opinion on the facts seems to hold more weight that the four people on your list.
Ultimately, the fact remains that the pilot you are referring to had all his licenses returned within months of a botched test, was reinstated and had full back pay issued by order of the Federal Government.
Further, Atlas Air had to show remedial actions to the FAA in order to maintain compliance and keep their air carrier certificate and to top it all off, the collector involved in the testing, was the first in the history of the program to undergo a Public Interest Exclusion proceeding where by the DOT de-certified him as a collector.
That event, as difficult as it was for this pilot you are referring to and his family, resulted in protections that were not previously in place for our pilots. He went on to upgrade as a Captain. In addition, he had stepped up to serve our membership as a Steward and now as a candidate for Executive Council Chairman.
I personally thank him for fighting the good fight on this issue.
