    Text of the Bill being sent to the President

    Two options: 1. Go to an AME 2. The doctors I have spoken to, including my endocrinologist, told me, before they prescribe a drug, they have to know what it does, the side effects, etc. I was looking to switch from Phentermine to another appetite suppressant, and the good doctor told me that...

    Third Class Medical Reform

    That'll just make the FAA go on paid vacation if he doesn't. (They get paid for the furloughed days...) Well, he has 11-13 (10 days, excluding Sundays) days to sign it per US Constitution, Article I, Section 7, Clause Two, unless Congress adjourns, as they are wont to frequently do: Every...

    Ok. The million dollar question: have you ever had to pee in a container?

    (wall of text warning) This is a ground story, and the statute of limitations has expired.... It was the early 90's and I went to visit my brother in the LA area in August (it's HOT at that time of year) We go to lunch, and I got a 64oz diet coke, and since he was a roofer, this was all done...

    Medical reform is passed out of House

    Dear AOPA Member, Even though PBOR2 has passed the House and Senate, the fight is still not over. The President has to sign it, and then some random person that found a misplaced comma in the legislation will take it to the Supreme Court, so please send in more money now, before it's too late...

    Medical reform is passed out of House

    On AOPA's site, it shows what was originally asked for, and what was gotten, and it looks like the "what was gotten" is equal to (watch the medical video from the FAA site) or better (5 pax vs. 1) than the what was requested. What was compromised...
