So, are you saying a pilot has to intentionally violate the regs 3 times to get suspended. My feeling is that if a pilot willingly and wantonly violated the rules...intentionally ETC...he should get nailed on the first offense. We are adults here...and are expected to act as such. There is no reason for 3 strikes because this is a very elite level we operate at. If you can't hack it...or willingly refuse to comply with our operating specifications you should not be afforded the privilege of having a turbine waiver.

No, on the contrary, a list of this type is not a good idea. Instead, the waivers should only be revoked based on the documented actions of folks who intentionally break the rules. At any rate, there should be a 3 strikes and your out rule or something. This mob lynching mentally has to end as the ends won't justify the means.
Has anyone actually had a waiver revoked before?
Like I said, intentionally break the rules is one thing. But unintentionally, basically, yes, give them a chance to correct their actions. Because bringing someone into complience verses tossing them out on a first time infraction will do nothing but harm the hobby. Would you rather have a bunch of disgruntled jet guys going around flaunting every broken rule until someone gets killed? Or would you rather guide them toward being in complience and have a situation corrected?
Moreover, can you yourself say without a doubt that you have never crossed the 200 mph threshold, albeit accedentally or unknowingly? doubt it.
