Then was interviewed by the Chief Pilot and one other person.

Got the "entire way through indoc and ground school" and was sent off to Flight safety who fortunately hires better record checkers and Flight Safety caught the discrepancy.

During the investigation after this debacle it was found he lied on this application and also said he had a ATP that he did not have.

Then that "contract" cargo company company who shall remain nameless told said idiot that if he went out and got his commercial SEL he could come back. And "every single person who was involved still works there" except said idiot who had he stayed would be one of many in the village of idiots. And where was the FAA in all this????

Given what I have seen in my career in aviation I am not surprised one single bit that this accident happened the way it did.
