That's correct, different laws. But similar effect.

The pilot is still being held in a OKC Jail with no bail. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec.

Odd for something like this. But his name doesn't sound domestic, maybe he's a flight risk. Or can't make the bail they set.

You know how everyone can tell you hate military pilots? Because you turn a discussion about any pilot getting in trouble into a rant against military pilots.

For the record, I believe the accused is innocent until proven guilty and I hope they get their day in court.

I’m guessing that you didn’t read the article. The accused has been convicted by a jury. He is not innocent.

I was attempting to set the example that we should all give fellow pilots the benefit of the doubt, instead of being so quick to criticize, correct, and condemn.

...... but thank you for proving my point!
