OK. The article said the FAA was going to cite him for busting the Class B
and that was it. Seemed to imply that there is no DWI limits on Pilot's
License.

Of course they will, as well as for violating class B airspace,
refusing to comply with ATC instructions, and reckless and dangerous
operation of an aircraft. The FAA does not move very rapidly, though,
so it may be nearly six months before the pilot gets a letter. The FAA
may also propose an emergency revocation of the pilot's medical
certificate. I suspect that the FAA may wait to see if the pilot
reports his DWI within the mandatory time limit. If he does not, then
they will get him for that, too.
