He'll have the rest of his life to regret that stupid decision.

As much as I'd like to agree with you, chances are that this little punk will have his private revoked. Then in year or two he'll retake the knowledge test, get his 3 hours of instruction, take his practical and get his private again. After 5 or 10 years, he would have learned his lesson and will likely be able to pursue a flying career and could end up at a regional or even a major. Who knows what the aviation landscape will be like by that time? After all, even majors have hired pilots with DUI's beyond 10 years prior....maybe even closer than that. If that doesn't happen, he could have a career with some scumbag freight outfit.
