Narrative:

I had a flameout of the right engine at FL349. I requested lower (FL280) at which time I restarted the engine. Once I arrived at our destination (okc) I contacted maintenance and was told that no other action was required. Once I landed at our destination I was told that I was in violation of far 121.563 and 121.701. I think a violation is pending. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states that the main problem was that he directly contacted maintenance rather than operations according to company procedures. He was given 2 weeks off without pay and 2 months downgrade to first officer. There were no violations filed. The restart occurred at about FL290. Maintenance changed the fuel control but 1 week after this incident there was another flameout. The aircraft is restr to FL310 now. This is the CJ6 engine which has a fan bolted onto the rear of the engine. There is often trouble with this engine.
