Ask Chester Twp or Clinton-Warren Joint Fire Districts how many bodies they scraped off 71 when that bridge was single-span during the rebuild due to the traffic backups that construction caused. I can't count how many times traffic was detouring through here due to those wrecks. We don't need entitled Martha or anyone else causing that again.
If someone fishing the Little Miami got their line stuck on that bridge that's... Something lol.
I was always fishing from the bridge when I lost line that ended up hanging from the bridge. Although from what’s been said here I doubt it’s possible to fish from that bridge.
I don’t think this is anything new. Read some of her old columns - if they are true, this would be in-character.
I think the camera that caught Martha is also a camera monitored for pedestrians on that bridge. If a pedestrian is spotted it seems a sheriff deputy is immediately dispatched for a jumper, since it's the highest bridge in the state, and pedestrians don't work on interstates.
Probably less than the number of bodies that have been scraped off of I495 and I66 near DC as the construction to build private toll lanes has progressed.
That's Kentucky's property and problem.
I thought Propellor was the name of Travolta's remaining child since Jett died.
The petition can be made to either district court or the court of appeals. Either way, it's not a de novo hearing and there's no option for jury. It's handled as a further appeal and unfortunately the federal law stacks it against you as they defer to the FAA itself to interpret the regulations they wrote.
It may be Kentucky’s property but it’s everyone’s problem.
That’s exactly the point. There is no due process with administrative law.
Well, it a was bridge that led to suspension
I visited Lunken Field, decades ago, and earned her ire for eating the last donut. I didn’t know...
I think "administrative law' is a bad thing, especially since the interests of the judge are more likely to side with the government that gives said judge a paycheck and contrary to the principles of the founding of our country. Is it OK to have that opinion?
Which is part of the whole reason things that affect a persons' livelihood should have a shot at a jury trial with their peers making a decision, although I'd say even today's events are showing that that is very much in jeopardy as well.
Remember that "your peers" doesn't mean other pilots. It means members of the general public who get selected for jury duty. Is that what you really want? How do you think flying under bridges looks to Joe and Jane Average?
I'm sure they get some right. That doesn't change the problematic nature of the system's structure, which is uncomfortably similar to the conditions in 1776, which I note you didn't respond to.
Probably not as bad as you might think it would be. I think the voluntary compliance is because a majority of the rules are good. Like the cloud clearance stuff, for instance. The FAA can't police everyone staying exactly 500' horizontally, or whatever, but we also have a high percentage of compliance (although there was that guy flying NORDO in the clouds that one time that gave my crew a scare...). Again, as it is, most of the system is an honor system as it currently exists, anyway, and plenty of us are more trustworthy than not.So instead of having regulations (14 CFR) that are derived from 49 USC (law), would you propose to do away with the regulations all together and write new laws to cover all the items in regulation?
Just think what that would be like.
In that case, I actually think that they'd be fine to bust her... but she and her lawyers should have a chance to explain it in hopes they'd sympathize. I'm not actually in favor of her action, but find the punishment confusing. Also, back in the day, peers would likely not look like our juries today... especially if you look up the definitions back then, like in the Websters 1828 Dictionary.
Violations that GENIUNELY endanger the community, sure. Stupid stuff like busting the guy in the Nanchang for having smoke on a low pass over the runway, when a go-around would have been perfectly legal probably don't deserve it just like a guy doesn't deserve to die over a $20 bill. The force used should be corollary to the actual harm.So you would be ok with the FBI or US Marshall’s and federal prosecutors handling violations rather than Aviation Safety Inspectors?
Okey Dokey!
But this isn't 1828. She wouldn't have been flying under bridges in 1828.
FWIW: the one thing you gloss over is being a pilot and flying is a privelage and not a personal right. Just as the thread title states. Different set of rules which you accept by exercising that private. And just as most government actions are dealt with under administrative law, to bring all federal regulatory challenges up to the same levels as what you propose what would that accomplish? Should a person who gets a parking ticket be given the immediate access to a jury trial? Regardless, as stated above, the administrative law process has a path to appeal in the courts which is used on a regular basis. But out of curiosity, how many federal administrative law processes have you personally been involved in?
