This one hits sort of close to home, I know the guy. Good dude, he was my co-pilot back in ‘05. He clearly made an egregious error here. That said, he served for twenty and retired. I hope for his sake and the sake of his family (wife and small kid) that he just gets a fine and no club Fed. He’s already been fired and won’t ever get hired by an airline again - losing one’s dream job and having a permanent record with a fine seems like penalty enough, (to me at least); without also completely destroying the guy and his family with prison time. I suppose it’s different when you know the people involved...
