Unfortunately, no matter how factual it is, they will find a way to pull his license and ban him from every flying again due to the vulgar language.
Last I recall, there is still a language rule for ATC communications.
Depends on the airline, if he's a cargo hauler, nothing will be done. As long as there's no name of the pilot or the airline, nobody cares, nothing will be done. And the other pilot's who know his voice will call him a hero, and laugh about this for years. The airport sent the recording to the FAA, big whoop. As long as they can't link the recording to someone specific, nothing is gonna happen. If he was on the ground at San Jose, that's a lot of pilots.
Even if he is fired, if he has a clean flight record he can find work anywhere, especially if he goes private.
I'm betting it's a UPS/FEDEX pilot. They're really chatty like that with each other.
Sadly it's more likely he didn't know his co-pilot as well as he thought and it was the co-pilot that opened the mic and also turned over his ID. And sadly the FAA can pull his ticket for violating regulations that say you can not have any distractions or discussion not immediately related to taxi, take off, and landing while those operations are taking place. Take off and landing operations extend to 10000ft AGL for all commercial operations.
Incorrect. You can’t pull someone’s ticket just for violating an FAR. It Hass to be willfull - and Deliberate and Has to result in endangering lives. None of that occurred he will be fine
