The pilot is likely the only one in this list that might face some consequences prior to an incident. The rest would only come out after the lawsuits start.
I feel like both will have the same kind of consequences. Pilots will lose their pilot license, skydivers can lose USPA member license (and could FAA certifications if they have any, like drone piloting, rigging, etc). But I am not sure, I have only 14 hours of piloting lessons.
My guess both will be pursued only if there is a lawsuit.
It would be easy for a pilot to follow the rules for their license, while no one is following USPAs rules.
Ways they could lose their license for recklessness I guess, or if they were doing something dumb and someone landed on someone in the ground.
But USPA’s rules get followed because they’re a good idea and it’s easier that way, not because someone is going to jail or losing an FAA license if they don’t.
