There\\\'s a common interpretation among the viewers that Soarin says that Rainbow will be kicked out of the Wonderbolts unless she can prove her innocence, effectively placing her in a \\\"guilty until proven innocent\\\" scenario, with her entire Wonderbolts career on the line. I really don\\\'t think that\\\'s correct. Soarin\\\'s exact words are:
--> If you can prove that somepony else is behind Spitfire\\\'s disappearance before the start of the show, then you can still fly with us. [...] I have to warn you, if you sent that letter, the bylaws are clear: I\\\'d have no choice but to ban you from the Wonderbolts forever.
To me, this means that Rainbow can fly at \\\'\\\'that day\\\'s show\\\'\\\' if she\\\'s proven innocent, and she\\\'ll be banned permanently if she\\\'s proven guilty. The remaining possibility -- that neither case can be proven -- means that Rainbow cannot fly at the show, but it is not necessarily the end of her career, either.
Effectively, Soarin says that Rainbow is \\\'\\\'\\\'suspended from active duty pending the outcome of the investigation\\\'\\\'\\\', which is actually a very \\\'\\\'reasonable\\\'\\\' course of action under the circumstances.
If you pay close attention to the hushed dialogue the Wonderbolts have among themselves just prior to this, the word \\\"suspended\\\" seems to be the last thing they say.
I don\\\'t think the Wonderbolts would kick Dash out without firm evidence, and I think the dialogue bears that out. Rainbow is merely being disallowed from flying \\\'\\\'one show\\\'\\\', thus preventing her from gaining an advantage from her suspected misconduct, but not being \\\'\\\'permanently\\\'\\\' punished for something that hasn\\\'t been proven.
TruthInTelevision, quite prudent, and it doesn\\\'t make the Wonderbolts jerks.
