How could FAA security and aeromedical fail to notice 12 offenses??? They would pull your medical for sure. For that reason alone, I'm far from convinced it's the same dude.

Or maybe most of his offenses were in the distant past, before the FAA got serious about it?

UPDATE: OK, I looked him up in the FAA Db. Joseph R Crites is the only one who comes up, and he has all the relevant types for AA.

The court document for DUI #12 names Joseph C Crites...probably a different dude. But they are both in Ohio.
