I'm planning on writing a piece about what happens when the FAA decides you've been a bad little airman.
What I need is some information from as many of you as would care to share your thoughts. What I'm interested in is what, if anything, your employer would do to assist you in your defense against FAA charges.
I know that at the airline level defense of a pilot so charged is assisted in a variety of ways by the Union if there's one on the property. But what about those of you in corporate or fractional flying. Do your companies respond to FAA meddling in your affairs with a pink slip or with an attorney to help you?
I would appreciate your input. I have a feeling there's a lot of not-so-nice stuff to know about just where you stand if you make a mistake. I'd like to know what those things are.
I will not mention anyone by name, by company, or even by allusion to corporate culture in what I write. I just need to know what you all would be facing if you got busted.
Thanks in advance for your help!
