Rhino -

Yep - agreed.
I've had TWO XOs involved in mishaps and each time they don't fly until cleared; one of them didn't even required a FFPB in his case (USMC XO) because it was clearly airfield faciities realted - but he did in any case. that is why I wondered if it was different for a CO. In the end - I think there is something more to this story than just the mishap.
