Description
E. GRADY JOLLY, Circuit Judge: In this case, Canfield Aviation, Inc. makes several constitutional challenges to the revocation of its operating certificate by the National Transportation Safety Board (""NTSB""). Specifically Canfield alleges that the statutes and administrative regulations used against it violated the corporation's due process rights and operated as a bill of attainder against one employee, Reynald Crete, who was denied permission to serve as Canfield's director of operations and chief pilot because of his prior involvement with an air-taxi company whose license had been revoked. Because we find that Canfield lacks standing to assert Crete's constitutional rights, we decline to address this issue. With respect to Canfield's own claims, we find that the administrative proceedings met all necessary due process requirements, especially when considered in the light of the obvious public safety concerns involved in air traffic regulations. Accordingly, we affirm the order of the NTSB.
