I could care less who he knows at FedEx or anywhere else, they can't help him expain this in an interview...it is REALLY STUPID to blatantly break a FAR and then post it for everyone to see. What’s next...drinking before a flight and bragging about it? Going below minimums and then telling the tower...
He is lucky that there are people out there willing to get a guy his job back when it is clear he can't follow the rules... it is a safety of flight thing.
So the guy in pro-standards told the FAA and the company? The pilot in question did NOT have a conversation with pro-standards...he just got called in to see the CP. Since when does pro-standards report something directly to the company/faa without talking to the pilot to at least hear what he has to say?
Not really makin sense here...
But if you called MAG alpa pro-standards (and not the company or feds), well that's cool that's the way it's supposed to work. Based on the way the whole thing played out it appeared that somebody contacted the company directly without any attempt at pilot-to-pilot intervention (the company did self-disclose).
