Does everything need to be explained to you? Even the simplest of concepts?database certainly included, by the Company's own admission, pilot name, address
and passport number information, and may have included date of birth information and Social Security number, more
than enough for identity theft.
Let's take away your selective highlight and read what it ACTUALLY says:
The data base contained the stated information. That does not mean the data was used or passed on to anyone. If the info is available to the person for viewing and was not obtained by illegal means, and that data was not copied and transmitted to anyone else, then no crime was committed. So as BB already said, he probably selectively searched the database for the addresses only, which is not confidential information and can be obtained easily in many other ways from public records.
But you guys keep up your witch hunt if it suits you. Anything to feed your fantasies. Just remember the result of your last temper tantrum caused by AOL's last mailing. (What is it they say about a person repeating the same action yet expecting a different result?)
