Chapter 23, Problem 6BCP

Summary Introduction

Case summary: The person MM is an airline pilot who was twice held guilty for minor misdemeanor and disorderly conducts. MM filed an application with NTSB to renew his flight certification. The application asked for his criminal records where MM did not mention the two convictions. This fact got enlightened after 10 years to which MM argued that the convictions were for minor misdemeanors. NTBS without giving a fair chance to argue, revoked the certification of MM.

To find: Whether the action was arbitrary or capricious.
