Ha. I don’t want to throw that kind of shade. I am sure if you go looking, you will find it.

There are people at the airlines with DUI’s. I don’t know the actual stats, but I don’t think it’s super common. There used to be a particular regional that was always known to hire people with a DUI. I am not sure if that’s the case today. Remember, you’re not legally permitted to enter...

Sounds like they know something happened within the last four years, since that timeframe is referenced multiple times.

This is precisely why I said it’s important who administered your test. Did you know you’re allowed to talk out loud during this? It’s quite helpful.

My advice is to see a doc that provides these tests regularly, and knows what they are doing. That matters!

The Supreme Court will likely be trashing Chevron deference soon. In a nutshell, this cedes power to federal agencies to operate how they see fit, citing their expertise in whatever field. Essentially, this is one reason agencies run amok. This COULD change the landscape in which we...

Great… yeah, I have heard the tech in that system is pretty bad.

Thanks! Looks like a lot of refreshing in my future.

Medxpress status just went into final review. Will it actually show a decision, or will I just have to wait for a letter in the mail?

I would for sure talk to a medical advocate, and maybe even an aviation attorney. I would want to be ahead of this.

Not an AME, but it sounds like unresolved depression. I highly doubt that won’t be deferred.
