Wow, good for you. Thanks for following through.

A much better way to handlr things. You did the right thing and
learned alot about this person too. You should feel good about
yourself in the fact you dealt with it one on one first. I doubt this
would have been the outcome if you'd have involved the feds right
away.

Thanks for the update, nice job, and I'm sorry about your friend.

Glad it worked out.

Two points -

1) I don't think anyone said ignore her - they (including me) said contact
her privately, if at all, which is what you did.

2) I'm sorry, but 75 or 20 - if she is going up in the sky she needs to take
more responsibility. "desperately looking for someone to save her from
herself and that is what I did" is only acceptable if she was not planning
to fly again anyway until she worked with a CFI. The point is YOU should not
be "saving" her - if she can't "save" herself through her own proactive
efforts at remedial training, or whatever she needs, she should probably not
be flying.
