IIRC, about a month ago, the Director of Flight Ops at Trans States took a take-off clearance with one engine shutdown. When they couldn't get it going on the runway, he cancelled T/O clearance and taxied back to the gate. Unfortunately for him, there were four TSA non-revs in the back and I can only imagine the looks of concern and confusion they were passing each other.

Of course, I can neither confirm nor deny whether any of this really happened. A rumor that followed was that he was removed from his position and his certificates were pulled. Some of the active Trans States guys can chime in any time and correct me if I'm wrong.
