I'm leaning toward doing it. My logic goes like this. If my PCP does find something the FAA should know about then I have no choice but to list it. So what difference does it make. By the same token, if something does develop that would need a FAA approval then who better to make certain...

Tony No credible climatologist would suggest a temporary heat wave is the direct result of global warming. Although I have heard some conservative commentators say a cold spell is proof it doesn't exist. I emphasize the word credible. I have know doubt you can google the subject and find...

I know this has been talked about before but I didn't follow the thread. Is having your AME also as your primary care physician a good idea? I really like my AME.

beamed up for the last time I guess

Maybe the disability claims were not fraud. They where real but not reported to the FAA. A back or knee injury may limit certain jobs but not the ability to fly. Or the time on disability was limited but not reported when it came time for the physical. If this was an FAA investigation that...

My dad had a similar problem with his neighbors. He let it be known if they kept it up he was going to rent part of his property for a cell phone tower. In the Sate he lives sighting commission trump local zoning power. They backed off real quick

Very Good point.

Thanks Judy Something about this case just doesn't smell right. One guy had a knee operation he failed to mention. Come on. Should the FAA demand an explanation. Yes, but should he be indicted by a grand jury. That should scare people.

I go to both. Usually looking for an interesting aviation thread. Boy the tone of the soapbox thread at AOPA deteriorated rather quickly. I must confess I enjoy the occasional chaos that can break out over there. Its like letting a bunch of Alpha male dogs play together, occasional one starts to...

I stand corrected. And I do understand that their may have been some major fraud taking place.

What concerns me is the violation of privacy issues. OK, disability records are public. But, how soon before the patriot act is being used to compare prescription records or medical histories against medical? This is really scary. The potential for abuse or mistake is stunning I know the FAA...

Not me dude. Worked my butt off for Dean then Kerry. And I personally asked both about general aviation. Dean needed a bit of educating but Kerry was right on it. Also hammered Leiberman but got no satisfaction. I would venture to say most people on this board take voting pretty seriously.

Good read, thanks Mike

I DO NOW. I was using the one at Walmart and it said I was OK. I know,, dumb. I blame it on my 100% Italian wife's cooking. (and she's not even overweight) You bet I was on the treadmill last night.

Tough call. Skyhog makes a good argument. But a penalty like that could bankrupt someone. The Clinton/Durbin proposal is only to examine the issue. Clintons husband had a soft-spot for GA, as does John Kerry. I have no idea about these other guys. I don't know about republicans but I hear...

So it was Rove. Boy was I wrong. But what's amazing is watching the right wing media machine kick into action. I have followed this story pretty closely and the distortions and out right lies being thrown up are amazing..These guys are good. Let's not forget that the reason the Republicans...

So, I had my class 3 medical today and the nurse scared the daylight out of me. She said my first blood pressure reading was too high. Don't know the exact numbers but 96 was the one she focused on. She said the doctor would take it again. Well, he took it four more times and said each time it...

Capitalism is great at a lot of things, delivery health care is NOT one of them. Maybe good for the doctors, maybe good for the insurance companies, But terrible for the patient.

I loved it, what can I say. It was just a really well told adult story. A really great movie. So what if the characters had some serious flaws, I think that was the point

We too lost three laptops on an Everest trip the paper sponsored. Once they got above 10K one drive after another failed. What we found is that the older 3- 12 gig drives continued to work.
