Hi Y'all!
There's a large foul odor eminating from a FSDO. Is there a way to remove the source of the smell?
Facts, regulations, national policy, and other written correspondance from FAA Legal has no effect on the guy. He uses the fear interrogation method for investigations getting most pilots to incriminate themselves. He has most of his cases end up with Remedial Training or violations. He just took on one of our pilots, lost, tried again, lost, and is now in round eight. The pilot has retained a lawyer to force the LOI and 709, before the guy finds a real violation.
The problem is not he's a flaming jerk, that's our POI. This guy is a flaming jerk that doesn't know what he's doing. I'd blame whatever he's been smoking or drinking, but that's being too nice.
So... what does it take to remove an ASI from their position? I know simple incompetence is not enough, and no, he's not in the military and subject to fragging.
Can he be '709'd as a certificate holder for his lack of knowledge about the regs?
We'll be watching his every move anyways, trying to stay out of his path, but when do we pull the handle, how, and for what?
Thanks,
Maria
