Depends on the felony.

 

I remember a character in my previous airline who came up via crew control to the flight deck. Kudos to him, but he had a Walter Mitty complex, claimed he flew F16's for the Navy and didn't need a g suit because he was so fit, was selected for NASA's astronaut program and was a physicist from MIT. The thing was he was a reasonably good first officer on the MD 83 and the 737 NG and he upgraded to captain on the 737 but none of us could understand why he needed to boast to his peers.

 

True. DHS is getting a little pickier with this though. Drugs and above and you are going to have issues.

 

My question is this: why is he shining his flashlight at that tiny jet engine?

 

Not to say I havent had fun and had a ton of laughs with this whole thing. But at the same time does anyone else think as a better person we kinda need to let this go? Do you all think we have put enough shame on Tim? As a person, the whole aviation community of pilots and such has shown the HUGE fraud that he has committed and looks like will never be in the flight deck of a 121 aircraft again. The lies he has told and portrayed has led to all the venom and shame from ALL OF US that he deserved.

I am just saying at what point does it go to far? Would any of you feel good if we find out that we pushed Tim too far and he did something like suicide? Look the guy created a HUGE FRAUD, and needs to get punished, and will likely never be able to fly as a professional pilot again due to his now GLOBAL reputation. But at the same time needs to get some mental help

 

It's not a flashlight, it's something you can put your weed in.

 

I don't know about you but the military guys/gals are somewhat in a suicide mission everytime they report for duty. It's these people you have to convince to accept his apology, not us civilian pilots

 

He must have seen that 'Blue Mountain State' episode on Spike.

 

I am not saying anyone should accept his apology. This guy was a complete idiot and deserves all the attention he is getting. Dont get me wrong, all the stuff that people created has been hilarious. At what point does it go from making this guy feel shame to bullying? This guy will prob never sit in the flight deck, and rightfully shouldn't.

For the most part WE AS PILOTS and those in the military community have done what should have been done, expose the pilot for his fraud and lies, make him feel shame in what he did, and for the most part he will prob never fly for an airline again.

I am just asking what the limit is in "destroying" Tim as a person.

 

The thing that really jumps out at me, but I don't think anyone has mentioned here, is the similarity between Mr. Martins and the FedEx 705 jumpseater. With that in mind, I cannot understand how AE allowed him to fly a turn yesterday. [deleted]
