<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike@9D9, post: 3402397, member: 55137&quot;]I considered it, and was going to go this route. My wife and I plan to retire in the UP of Michigan (while keeping a house in Southern MI). So the convenience of a 3 hour flight vs a 15 hour car ride is 1 huge factor. And we have dogs, so a SPL won&#039;t fit the bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another consideration is being able to see the country in the same fashion.</p><p><br /></p><p>True, SPL is better than no flying privileges, but serves me no real purpose. If I can&#039;t get medical (which by my understanding, the only real reason I wouldn&#039;t be able to is if I mess up or decide it&#039;s not worth it), then there&#039;s no practical purpose for me to fly. If that&#039;s what happens, life will go on and I will be just fine. I&#039;ll be bummed, but life will still be every bit as enjoyable as I make it. Frankly, even coming up on 2 years since my arrest, I&#039;m grateful for a new lease on life and have been making the most of every day (well, I try to).</p><p><br /></p><p>This post was more to add a point of reference to catalog my journey for others who may be in the same circumstance. Of all the other DUI posts I&#039;ve found, none were exact to my position, so I wanted to just give another set of variables for others to study up on.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have a consultation with a HIMS AME next Wednesday. If he says I have a chance at all, I&#039;m moving forward. If it is 100%, never gonna happen, I wouldn&#039;t waste any further time or money, but I don&#039;t glean that to be accurate from the research I&#039;ve done so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>More to come <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
