The Visitor is right. It wasn't a case of being denied an ATP, it was a case
of a pilot losing his ATP for mooning airline passengers as his DC-3 taxied
by.

Hard to think of a "moral character" issue that wouldn't be caught by the
regs about lying on an application, alcohol use, drug use, etc.

Not so sure about that, in this day and age. What about the pilot recently,
just back from Bible Camp or whatever, who decided to turn his 767 into a
preaching forum? Granted this would again be a question of challenging and
existing ATP - but what if a Scientologist applicant shows up, announcing his
intention to capitalize on his 200-member strong captive audience? You'd think
he wouldn't be stupid enough to admit to such an intention, but if he did,
or it came to be known, shouldn't there be some regulatory clause to honor the
fact that safe operation of the aircraft is not first and foremost in this
individual's mind . . .

UMM - not to mention applicants who only wanted to learn how to make turns . .
