I feel for these guys, but their lack of judgement in this incident is

I agree. This incident included several career ending actions even
before you get into WHAT they were doing to cause the actions in
question and the FAA was perfectly justified in lifting the two
certificates. In this business there exists an environment concerning
safety that allows no "first time offenses" in the area these two
pilots were operating. You commit *offenses in the category involved
here and you are justifiably history.

Quite. Skeptics need only remind themselves of the name of Nick
Tafuri, a cove with 13k+ flying hours who committed a somewhat
elementary error and didn't live long enough (nor did 160 others) for
the FAA to revoke or take any other action on his license.

So, wait, did Tafuri make a prior screwup that should have resulted in
revocation of his license, but didn't, and thus allowed him to continue
flying and get his passengers killed? Because I'm looking at the
Wikipedia article on him and don't see any indication of any problems in
his flying record before the fatal flight. If there were no prior
infractions then this paragraph is a complete non sequitur.
