A pilot who left a threatening voicemail last July after a rescinded job offer at a Florida charter company was sentenced earlier this month to one month in jail and one year of probation, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General (DOT OIG).

Patrick White was sentenced on April 8 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, following a July 2024 criminal complaint and August indictment on a charge of transmitting a threat in interstate commerce.
