Here is my "input and coaching"..... 1) If the aviation community was as full of "honorable people" as it once was, then shows like "AIRPLANE REPO" would have never been able to get off the ground. 2) STAY AWAY FROM EBAY !!!! Not only will they allow a buyer to screw you over, EBAY will...

First let me tell you all that I am an unapologetic "gun nut". As such, I have seen so many times that the antis have launched attacks on the Second Amendment that I know the "signs and symptoms" of an attack almost immediately. Well..... I see story after story after story about "small plane...

Having spent most of my adult life living under FMCSA, I would say for a "lowly" trucker the statement would have been .04 BAC. But this is not a "trucker board" so I used the "national norm" for this year of .08 I get the feeling you know where some of my thinking comes from and the absolute...

You can have no worries about my ability or willingness to help anyone in need. Everyone got the same high standard of care, from "granny" to the DUI who killed the other driver. That is not my place to decide. If anything, I was "too sympathetic and caring" at times for my bosses. I am now...

With the stupidity of State laws, and going by some of the recent posts here on just this board lately ??? YES, I do think it is BECOMING a problem. NO. Standing for what is LEGAL and RIGHT, and what is best for an entire segment of people, is NEVER A WASTE OF TIME. Marijuana users, within the...

Since "state legal" is a total MYTH, a person is "under the influece" after using ANY amount of pot. Pilots are regulated by FAA, the "F" being FEDERAL. Marijuana is ILLEGAL in ALL States by FEDERAL LAW. The same far that says you do not fly under influence of "legally prescribed" LEGAL...

I have ALWAYS dreamed (dreamt ?) in color. Doesn't everyone ??? Your dream Sounds kinda like the movie "THEY LIVE".

I do not go to doctor unless I "have to", and many times that is out of town. So there is not really a "personal physician" in my life. I am wondering if the "every 4 year personal physician" visit can be done during one of my "every 2 years CDL/DOT physical" visits. The Docs are "National...

Well, I guess I made sure Pandora's secrets are out of the box with this post. LOL FYI - I am pretty straight forward, so usually no reading between lines is needed. I really did mean just exactly what I said.... that anyone with substance abuse should not fly or drive. So if you like to...

Inspired by many many people stating they are "legal in my state" and complaining about failing drug screen or being disqualified due to use or arrest. And yes, I was young and stupid. I too wish I had known then what I know now.

No. Not even.

I want to weigh in on the subject of alcohol and drug use, and how it relates to flying OR driving. Yes, I am the guy that posted last year about a 26 year old DUI, and what I have to say is not gonna make "happy feelings" for some folks. I have dealt with these problems as a medical...

Yeah. I figured that when the "hangar lawyer" told me. No biggie though. I just gotta do some legwork and archive searching. Like I said, was my mistake that got me here.

Oh well, Now I know. It was just a thought of fancy

Yeah. Unashamedly so.
