AME Titans!

yes, 2 of the famous forum drs ... Chen and Fowler find themselves together again at a required 2.5 day aviation cme in OKC! Only new info is: that PTSD may be easier to certificate / FAA needs more ame's, especially of the younger variety / and OKC is cold!!!

At least you're not in Buffalo, NY

...FAA needs more ame's, especially of the younger variety...

Most of the bottlenecks seem to be in OKC, not in AME offices and queues. Did they mention (or recognize) any need to improve OKC throughput?

 

[schmookeeg]

is there even a third candidate for "famous forum doctor"?

FAA needs more ame's

The FAA could relieve some of the load by allowing any state-licensed physician to conduct a class 3 exam. It hasn’t done any harm with Basic Med.

We are here. The agency is not changing much. Working for the Feds is tolerating institutional poverty!
Terrifc mexican supper however, with Some of FAA's brightest, at Tacos Don Nachos, however : ).

Tacos Don Nachos rocks. Tex mex is generally the culinary highlight of any visit to MMAC. I'm also a fan of Ted's Cafe Escondido.

I always thought of it as an act of desperation....

Too bad you’re not in North Texas area. The DFW contingent would definitely pick up your food and bar tab at dinner.

Dr. B has done a stellar job in attempting to put the feds in their place! Unfortunately, nothing new! Nothing about basic med, ADHD, or SI's!

So, merely a boondoggle? If so, I wouldn't choose OKC for a boondoggle.

…Ted's Cafe Escondido.

I so miss that place. Earl’s Rib, too.

Not a boondoggle. The privilege is somewhat costly.
6T6: it's on the ramp at AAR.

I would guess the cost of frustration is the highest cost.
