Only problem with Blancolirio is he rarely gets the facts right (not to mention the tendency to over speculate on accidents), including this time.
According to what I read, Trevor can start his private pilot license training process again in a year, take a checkride, and have his license back.

Do they have to go thru the complete 40 hour course, or do they get credit for previous time?
Question for the CFI's...
Can you - or perhaps have you - declined to instruct a student ( sorry - learner) due your impression of their character? It's been a question of mine for years, having known some pilots who were absolute idiots; but this situation begs the question. I am a ground instructor ( and PPL) but don't feel like this situation would apply to ground instruction. But having my name associated with some of the pilots I've known - and this guy too - would seem to be a big risk in today's litigious society. Not to mention the ethical dilemma of the student doing something stupid after your instruction - that you might reasonable have suspected they might do. Even if you didn't instruct them to do it (which we know you didn't) or instructed them specifically not to - they're out there because you worked with them.
I just think that like the "go or no go" decision, there ought to be a "teach or don't teach" decision as well. As CFI's you can't stop idiots from flying, but you don't have to help them.

Similar discussion going on over on Beechtalk.com. It seems to be that the consensus there is previous time/experience is valid. Doesn’t make me correct. I think in the Martha case this was first brought up as being the process. It is a pain if you want ALL the ratings back but this guy just needs he PPL. In addition to having his head examined.

Sounds like at least one more revocation coming. News says FAA denied a waiver to do this. Not sure what FAR they wanted to waive but you can’t get one for 91.13. Careless and reckless. Let’s see, get in airplane with a parachute. Climb to altitude. Stop engine on purpose. Bail out. Airplane crashes. Do the whole thing to make money. Sound familiar?trevor didnt hold a candle to the red bull guys. one flipped ubside down and went into a pretty tough spin.
Disclaimer: facts may not be right in this video.
FWIW Trent Palmer of Flying Cowboys fame just posted a video about an FAA certificate action being taken against him.
I only watched the very beginning of the video so don't know what all it's about.
