It looks like Timothy James Martins of New York holds a CL65 type, with the obvious limitation of PIC, since he does not hold an ATP.

Since he paid for the type, and not an airline, he wouldn't get an SIC anything, unless he wanted to pay for that

So whats the latest from the AE guys, is he still employed?

 

I don't agree with the good moral character clause.. How many pilots have had or are having affairs. ie Adultery. Have bended in the gray area of what they pay on their taxes. Claiming residency in a non-tax state. ie FL, or TX while living in another state; I could go on. I think the list would be rather long.

I would find all of those morally questionable. We need to be careful about throwing a rock through that glass house as many, myself included have made mistakes and done things we morally regret.

Medical? Now that is a completely different story. He does need a review there.

Agree. Also rumor was floating around he is an FFDO. If that's the case, the shrink who checked him out should be at least interviewed

 

As an FFDO with his propensity towards delusions of granduer I would be very nervous having him in possesion of a weapon. This guy obviously has a mental issue going on and is not a run of the mill storyteller. He knew this story was being published by ALPA magazine, and could have easily stopped the story to keep a low profile and continue his storytelling indefinately. Instead he saw even greater glory with his name in lights, not realizing the consequences of his possible "outing" shows very poor judgement skills and I have no doubt he should be grounded.

 

Maybe it was my hatchet job quoting Boomer's post that threw jwall.

 

The "Good Moral Character" clause does not mean what most people think it means. The FAA has no mandate, ability or authority to pass moral judgments on things like adultery, homosexuality, unofficial lying, etc..

What it really means is that convicted criminals cannot hold an ATP. They have some leeway as to what crimes, parking tickets won't do it but convictions for drug dealing, violence, theft, etc will be a problem for you. I think they also have the leeway to decide that you are reformed eventually

 

Didn't read all 28 pages but isn't it illegal to impersonate a military officer or use it on applications etc?

 

First, after a crappy week, just watching this "slow-motion trainwreck" has made me feel better. I'll grant you you- that's not right (or good), but I'll take what I can get.

Second- I've met, known, or heard of (from people I trust) of so many individuals who are compulsive liars. Most of them led fairly impressive lives, good jobs, nice families, business success, etc. Ironically, most of them NEVER had any real reason to lie at the levels they did. I just don't get it.

One looks around. Volunteer Fireman- I did that and I respect that, airline pilot, I respect that as well...so why embellish? I also understand why those who are qualified and doing the jobs he claimed to be doing are understandably [edit; "upset"]. Who knows.....but hey, watching this trainwreck is going a long way to making my week go by, if not better, at least faster.

 

You just validated my point. Thank you.
