    Help-Med Denied

    A well thought out piece, which I agree with, in principle. But is an entirely separate issue from whether a VA payment should be a disqualification for flying an airplane. Coupling the two is illogical, imo. How, precisely, does suicidal ideation in a private pilot hurt you? Greater...

    Help-Med Denied

    Have you ever received treatment at a military medical facility? I paid for a civilian doc to do my vasectomy because the military medical system is where the retarded docs work.

    Help-Med Denied

    If it's a real condition, the 0% disability rating ensures if sometime in the future something happens to where the veteran needs help, it makes it much more easy to increase the rating percentage. I know this isn't what you are getting at, but lots of folks take the 0% disability for something...

    If you think so.... IME, pilots are no better or worse than the bulk of humanity. Really? Probably because they have theirs already. People who haven't been sanctioned by stupid rules don't see those rules as dumb as those who have. That's horrible logic on your part. PTSD is not a single...

    Why do we still have time zones?

    I've used Zulu time quite a bit in my life in the military, and frankly, it plain sucks except for those extreme few people who globe trot. Zulu time is the fakest fake that ever faked. The only time that is "real" is local time, and human beings naturally reject ideas as dumb as Zulu time. It...

    Government: We are making great efforts in removing the stigma from PTSD and other functional mental disorders. Also Government: Report even asymptomatic or mild symptoms of PTSD and we will literally take the sky from you, forever.

    Money Changes Everything - Experimental Savings

    As I stated earlier, an L4 replica is what I'm looking at. I could buy a certified L4 for 30-50k. I could build a replica for 25-30k. That includes the power of patient scrounging and doing most everything myself, from scratch or through horse trading. I've built a few cubs, so I'm not afraid...

    Didn't mention: looking to stay LSA to avoid medical. Neither wife or I have issues, but you never know

    Money Changes Everything - Experimental Savings

    I'm currently going back and forth between certified and experimental, and am interested in the cost differential. My wife and I just want something to get into the air and bomb around the countryside, so am assuming that the experimental wins here. I am an A&P, and have the itch to build an...

    Not to pick nits, but as of this posting, Flynn hasn't been convicted of anything. The court has not formally accepted his guilty plea, nor has it acquitted all charges as requested by the DoJ. As far as PTSD is concerned, I simply don't understand how such an ill defined and disparate set of...
