he asked the PMI before he left if there were any items that he wanted to debried. He would say no, and then return to the FAA office and send a letter of investigation". Mr. Cheema said he could not recall "many operations violations during that time frame". "Since then, FAA regional personnel had told Mr. Shauman to stay away from Grand Aire." In the same testimony Cheema said "problems were all paperwork errors". He said he went to the FAA in Washington and spoke to the FAA regional flight standards office in Chicago and "asked them to show him a white man's company that was fined like his was". Following that the certificate was moved back to Detroit and the Cleveland FSDO resigned the same week. According to Cheema, the FAA also had conducted an internal security audit on Mr. Schauman. In the same interview the NTSB asked how the Detroit office was to work with now and Cheema replied, "fair", "the company wanted communication. They did not want the FAA to just come to the company and take notes and go home without telling them anything. That was not the way to get things fixed". By April 2001, oversight of GAE was returned to the Detroit FSDO. John Hogan was another FAA Principle Operation Inspector over GAE while the certificate was supervised by the Cleveland FSDO. When asked about his recollection of the transfer of the GAE certificate, Hogan said Cheema was not happy with the way the Cleveland FSDO was handling Grand Aire, so Cheema put pressure on the FAA using his “political clout”. Hogan did not think the certificate should have been moved back to Detroit, but he said the FAA Regional headquarters made that decision. Efrain Arroyo was the Detroit FSDO Unit Supervisor and in his testimony to the NTSB he was asked about GAE's moved from Cleveland back to Detroit. Arroyo stated that "he had been briefed and showed a document that explained the move but said he still needed approval of the Regional Manager to release the document to the NTSB board".
