Many people missed it during several steps in the process.
Even the libertarian capitalist in me says the FAA should have some anonymous info to audit the airline and protect the public.
The FAA’s only role in a case like that would be if he presented to a ASI or DPE falsified logbooks to gain a new certificate/rating.
Again....if the guy applied to a job and didn’t have the requirements, that isn’t on the FAA as long as he gained what he did have legally.
