EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE DISAGREEMENT IN FAR INTERP.

Narrative

I AM A COMMERCIAL RATED PLT WITH AN INTERMENT RATING AND WAS HIRED AS A MGR/PLT FOR A PLT SHOP THAT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF STARTING A FLT SCHOOL. BECAUSE OF MY LACK OF ATTN I HAD LET MY SECOND CLASS MEDICAL DROP TO THIRD CLASS PRIVILEGES. I HAD BEEN WORKING IN THE PLT SHOP FOR ABOUT 3 WKS AS A MGR (WE HAD NOT YET RECEIVED ANY ACFT AND I HAD NOT FLOWN ANY COMPANY ACFT). WHEN I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I WAS IN VIOLATION OF TITLE 14 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGS PART 61.113; I IMMEDIATELY QUIT MY JOB WITH THE COMPANY; AS I DID NOT WANT TO VIOLATE A CFR. AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT I WAS IN VIOLATION OF 14 CFR 61.113; BECAUSE I NEVER ACTED AS PIC IN ANY OF THE COMPANY ACFT; I ALSO HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A COMPANY ACFT OR SEEN ONE IN PERSON; I HAVE SEEN THEM FROM THE INTERNET. THIS MISTAKE WAS IN NO WAY DELIBERATE; IT WAS SIMPLY A MISREADING OF THE REGS FOR WHICH I AM TRULY SORRY. I THINK THAT IT MIGHT BE BENEFICIAL FOR OTHER PLTS IF THE FAA WOULD MORE CLRLY DEFINE WHAT HAPPENS TO COMMERCIAL PLTS WHEN THEIR MEDICAL DROP IN PRIVILEGES WHEN THEY ARE WORKING FOR A COMPANY. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATED HE NEVER FLEW AND IT WAS HIS EMPLOYER'S LAWYERS WHO WERE CONCERNED. HE WAS NOT SURE OF JUST WHAT KIND OF OP WAS BEING DEVELOPED.
