Since the advent of ADS-B and ATC live, people off the street can both see the plane track and hear the ATC, so pilot mistakes can no longer be hidden.
Do you think there is a chance these pilots have a hard time finding jobs in the short and/or long term?

 
There is a reason my personal plane has tiny N, or in its case NC, numbers and no electrical system, much less risk to my career.

ADSB has always about tracking, enforcement and fees, basically moving us to a Europe or Asian style system for GA and Corp

Flying into all the busy airspace with work before and after the ADSB rules I see next to no difference from a 121 standpoint when it comes to separation, efficiency and safety
 
Only if their names are publicized somewhere for the hiring managers to cross check…
 
No ADSB, no radio, no electrical system, no TXP, no problem. I can even operate within the class B to an uncontrolled field with just my handheld and my GPS guided map on my Galaxy. I'm also in a wood covered plane, so my radar return looks like a smudge of pizza on the scope. GFY fed nazis.
 
I don’t think so unless it becomes a reportable incident to the FAA. My interview first question was “any accidents or incidents.” Since she didn’t specify FAA so I gave her a story of an accident I had in the military but she only wanted FAA accidents. Basically anything that could come up in a PRIA or the now, PRD.

wrong - ADS-B is about tracking. It was never about enforcement and fees.

Were you involved in the development of ADS-A and ADS-B at all?
 
I dunno. People make mistakes. If it’s not something reportable by PRIA or doesn’t come up with a general question like, “tell us about something you did stupid in an airplane,” I doubt an employer would care about some armchair analyst unless it was part of a pattern.

But a little paranoia can be fun.

That was the original intent. Aren't some airports now charging landing fees based, at least in part, on ADSB data? I think there is a thread or two about it.

The writing was on the wall

And there are already companies who make their living off issuing fees off ADSB tracks

Think the FAA also used ADSB data as evidence against pilots, I believe they showed pings on that lady who flew under the bridge and maybe also Trent

The system was built to be abused

I had nothing to do with the design, I’m a pilot and love aviation, I would not work on something like that

Think the sales pitch was kapstone in Alaska, but as I recall the Alaskans were wise and the feds had to promise it could never be used against a pilot before they would adopt it, I do not believe such assurances were made with ADSB
