On a related note, I recently read an NTSB order in which a guy got an emergency revocation of his certificates for doing exactly that, having a passneger pull a chock with the engine running. Don't know if there were any criminal charges involved, but the FAA reacted as strongly as they could.

Do you have any more information or references to this case?

Thanks A Squared.

If you look in Part 91, airplanes in Alaska are actually allowed to take off over max weight under certain conditions. Obviously that wasn't the only problem with this flight, but just thought i'd mention it.

It looks like, at the end, that they reduced the punishment to a 60 day suspension. Is that the case or am I not reading it correctly?

Not all airplanes. . . only certain older aircraft.
