All I know is that as a pilot, the ultimate responsibility in the plane is the PIC (pilot in command). As a private pilot, if I even get a drunk driving ticket and don't report it to the FAA within a certain period of time I can have my certificate revoked. That's not even doing anything near a plane.
I don't know what the military process for this is, but I would think that a military pilot with life and death responsibility would be held to a higher standard than a civvie like me. -Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: Doug White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 12:13 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: No charges for 'friendly fire' pilots > > > All the article mentions is "Non-judicial punishment" > > Unfortunately there were almost as many friendly fire deaths > as there were combat related killings. > > I still would prefer the place the blame in this case on the > coordination between commands rather than some intentional > act by the two pilots. > > This does not minimize the tragedy of Canadians who were lost. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kevin Graeme" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 8:43 AM > Subject: RE: No charges for 'friendly fire' pilots > > > | Anybody know if they at least had their wings revoked? > | > | -Kevin > | > | > -----Original Message----- > | > From: Philip Arnold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > | > Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 8:35 AM > | > To: CF-Community > | > Subject: RE: No charges for 'friendly fire' pilots > | > > | > > | > > http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/06/19/friendly_fire030619 > | > > > | > > WASHINGTON - Two U.S. military pilots who bombed Canadian > | > soldiers in > | > > Afghanistan won't be prosecuted. > | > > > | > > The decision on whether Majors Harry Schmidt and William > | > Umbach will > | > > face criminal charges won't be officially announced until late > | > > Thursday afternoon > | > > > | > > -- > | > > > | > > This sucks.
