It's not that the FAA is dumb... the FAA is being forced to act by the liberal media who don't understand A from B. CNBC even had the nerve of having an "expert" who claimed that since the kid was on frequency, this removed the dad from the mic completely and made it impossible for him to communicate should an emergency arise. First off, the length of time between the dad and kid's communication makes it obvious the kid was plugged in on his own headset... and if they did a little research, they'd know that the standard headset port used by the FAA has a controller and monitor set of plugs where, with a simple flip of the switch, allows the monitor to turn into an instructor port and will completely override the controller port, even mid transmission. Even if the instructor simply keys and unkeys, it cuts off the controller until the controller unkeys. Not to mention the sup's console trumps everyone's. You should be saying "I am the media, and I am ignorant!"

So true. I completely agree!! I was thinking the same thing about the mic situation. That controller should be disciplined with a talk for 2 minutes about not doing it again and let him have his job back.

Worst case pull his qual and make him re-train on that position. But pulling his ticket completely? Come on...
