Flying is a privilege, not a right, as is driving a car. If one has
demonstrated the incapacity to fly responsible, that privilege should be
revoked.

No flying is a right available to anyone who can prove that they can safely
exercise the right. It is not a privilege. US pilots do not have licenses to
fly, they have certificates that just document ability. Like all rights that
involve public safety this one can be regulated and people exercising the
right must comply with regulations. The pilot in this case will lose his
pilot certificate as he proved he is unable to exercise his right to fly
safely and responsibly.
