I’m not in the anti-lawsuit crowd, but this is absurd. The guy said he had two beers, which means he had between 6 and infinity; he did so while taking prescription meds, always a no-no, he was going 65 mph (!!!) in the dark over rough terrain and he hit something. Sorry, but I don’t care what...

This is the thing that scares me. This whole “reform” movement going on regarding pilot mental health seems to be focused on the idea that anyone should be able to be a pilot, no matter their mental health state. And pardon the pun, but that’s just crazy. I wish the OP well and I truly empathize...

Too late.

Oh come on.

Like I said, that’s exactly the point.

Check rides. Here’s what I’d be worried about. Once you start studying for your first commercial you have no excuse for being confused by this reg. And you clearly didn’t stop flying even once you realized your mistake (giving you the benefit of the doubt). By my reading of your statement you...

Yep, sure could. You could very reasonably make that argument. The difference between you and I is that I am objective and consistent in my reasoning.

Inadequately.

You never argued it was simple? Are you the same person that said this: “My proposal is that if the second doctor clears the applicant of medical issues, then the FAA should accept it.” Nonsense.

Police officer aside, every drunk driving story as told by the driver is told to favor the driver.

Bad idea.

Possible. But from his posts here my guess would be they heard his story, offered their services, then he started acting like, well, himself, and they decided they weren’t going out on a limb for this guy.

Yeah this guy’s attitude makes it pretty obvious why none of the CFIs would sign him off. Looks like they made the right choice.

Bad idea.

Like most of the OPs story you mean? 4-5 drinks over “a few hours” and then waiting an hour before driving, you’d be fine. I’m guessing it was more like double that and he didn’t wait and got in the car and realized he was bombed and then parked the car on the sidewalk. These stories are always...

Absolute gibberish. There is no pathology for these conditions. They’re quite often diagnosed based on the self-reporting of the patient. So when the patient wants adderall to help them study they tell the doc they can’t focus, can’t complete tasks, can’t keep appointments, etc. etc. etc., and...

Which is exactly the case now. Chevron requires the interpretations of the government experts to be, and I quote, “reasonable”.

No it isn’t. A USSC decision created the Chevron defense.

You’ve said that again, I understand and that’s your position. What I’m asking you to do is support this position. How does this not enhance flight safety?

Well it’s going to be the problem if they throw this out. Then it will be up to judges to effectively write regulations on things from AI to the environment to chemical regulation and disposal to… aviation safety. It will then be judges with no expertise whatsoever writing every federal...
