Narrative:
On dec/mon/91, I was the PIC of a part 91 flight, departing tucson, az, en route to hayward, ca, with intermediate stops in eagle, co, and salinas, ca. The flight was conducted and concluded uneventfully. On dec/tue/91, I was informed via company channels that my copilot on the aforementioned flight, had received FAA notification that his pilot's license had been revoked. At the time of my flight with him, I was given a part 91 flight release by company dispatch and nothing was mentioned, at that time, of a possible problem with the status of my copilot's airman's certificate. Under the guidelines of our general operations manual (by which my company operates, as we are a member of the program) paragraph 1.2.9 page 1-15 under the subtitle 'the company's duties and responsibilities' states 'the company dispatch is responsible for...preflight documentation of operational legalities for all flts operated by the company, including at least...crew member qualification.' therefore, if any action was pending against my copilot's certificate at the time I was flying with him, I was unaware as to the severity of any such action, any time line as to when an action was or had been planned against him by the FAA, and I operated the flight as per the FARS, company communication, and good judgement.
