A 44709 is not a revocation of a certificate, nor does it show as such. Most of the time, the certificate is not even suspended, that's usually reserved for someone that fails a 44709 when the inspector believes with training the applicant could still possibly pass on a 2nd attempt. Somewhere, there should be someone that teaches you this at the airline.
The process of certificate revocation and re-issuance during a 44709 ride was told to me by an FAA inspector and a company DE and that it will show up on PRIA since the action is almost always preceded by an incident, accident, or violation. I was also told that SkyWest has had 2 such 44709 events in the last 20 some years until this last month in which 3 have been ordered by the CMO.
If that's not the case, great, but everyone I've talked to have said these guys are screwed?
