I guess that would be his udder disbelief.

What does that have to do with safely piloting an aircraft?


Obviously having a felony, especially of that magnitude, would probably prohibit her from getting hired almost anywhere as it should, but that has absolutely nothing to do with her license or ability to fly a plane (unless of course she used her license to commit said acts).

Which she apparently did. There are records of Gulfstream/727 flights to various cities. Witnesses said they transported young girls. The 727 was actually named "Lolita Express."

That would be transporting minors across state lines for immoral purposes. You can't really believe she wasn't in the cockpit for at least one of those trips.

Mesa has a guy who did prison time for a felony done in an airplane. FAA does not care about your moral character.

Thruster

Smuggling?

SonicFlyer

If she is convicted in a court of law then her license should indeed be suspended.

dera

Nah, worse than that.
He lied in his application too. He got hired at PSA and then got told TBNT when his background results came through. Mesa ignored it and welcomed him.

Do you know what “suspended” means?

Understand there is criminal court and she could be sued for damages by the victims in civil court. Criminal court would be the applicable one here.

The “good moral character” is generally not enforced because the legal case is weak to impossible to prove. It’s subjective and one can argue that the guy that went to jail has “learned his lesson”. I know of a few cases where someone in jail was revoked when the crime included use of an aircraft, but once out of jail they have “paid their dues” and that chance to revoke is usually gone.

The reason for all of this is that it’s a slippery slope. One does have to question why that was written and I would suspect or expect to see it revised in the future. Should we revoke based on a few traffic tickets? Reports of bullying? Being a mean to others? What your ex-wife says?

Her FAA certificates are probably going to be the least of her worries. I’d be surprised if she’s still in the country.

Yes, they should update this 1950's era language. Back then you would "know it when you see it", but that would have probably have included activities which airlines celebrate in public today.

Should be felony convictions within a time frame, probably more than one (on the premise that one DUI or a perjuring ex-wife does not necessarily constitute a fundamental character flaw). If you develop a track record, well that's on you.

I just hope she pays the piper. That pervy "little girl-chan" flight video is just one example of her complete lack of......... Heck, I will say it. Soul.
