2009 was six years ago. Supposedly they reexamined him before he was admitted into the program again, and there hasn’t been a problem since then. Except for the fact that he had very few flying hours, and seems to have spent a fair amount of time in the US studying for a certificate here (which he received).
I know, but that is the information according to the DRUDGE article. Did you hear on FOX earlier, that he also trained in Arizona 4 years ago?
