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
Possibly, but given the current environment I'm not going to hold my breath because they will railroad this magnificent bastard. If they do then he will be doxed also. I'd be willing to get him a gofundme or what ever we can use these days.

Yeah, FAA is pretty woke. Chances are if there's an SJW in AVS, they'll pull his ticket just because they probably won't be challenged on it.
