I can see AC ending his pension payments given the pension was earned through (alleged) fraudulent means.

This all begs the question, why didn't he just get an ATPL at the beginning? He presumedly had all the skills, knowledge and medical to do it.

Was he hired by AC as an FO while holding a CPL and then misrepresented himself when going FO>CPT?
Did he pass himself off as an ATPL from the start.

It's a mix of Suits and Catch Me If You Can
