Unfortunately the 135 just fired him and didn't throw the DOT book at him.
He didn't "make an honest mistake". He never saw a thing, he just wanted to cause a stir.

OK, the rest of his history is more than enough for 121 no-go if it were up to me.
The story of the S&R was that he did see a flare, and then the whole thing got blown out of proportion.

Peter does a pretty good summary of this event, from an airline pilot perspective....
