Again, I think you've made the whole thing up. I have no idea why you do this.
Your friend was wrong.
Everyone knows a 121 flight needs to be released by dispatch sailingfun. We're talking about whether you need a re-release if you return to the gate for any reason or the FAA will suspend your ticket for 30 days as you've alleged.
You need to admit you exaggerated a story to make some strange point. There is no such FAR, and the FAA would never suspend your license for 30 days for an alleged FOM violation. Stop digging!

The way I read his original response was that the guy got 30 days off. The Company can, at their discretion, give a guy 30 days off without pay. It doesn't have to have anything to do with the FAA or FAR rule breaking.
You are the one who assumed he had his license suspended by the FAA. He didn't say anything about the FAA. Just that he got 30 days off.
