He needs his ticket yanked and I'll bet his instructor has a meeting with
the FSDO as well.


Why would you think that?

Are you questioning the first or second part of the statement?

For part one the guy acted in a reckless manner.

For part two, around these parts the FSDO has been having meetings with the
instructors of low time pilots that have done have had accidents. In one
case the Part time CFI was told he was going to have to take a check ride
because his yet uncertificated but soloed student wrecked a 172. This was a
CFI with at least 20 years experience. He was told (by an aviation lawyer)
that should he fail the check ride not only would his CFI certificates but
his ATP would also be at risk. He chose not to take the check ride and give
up his CFI tickets because instructing for him was a side line to his flying
day job.
