    For me Christmas is starting to feel like Groundhog Day

    Catmandu-Thanks! I don't aim to be controversial but do enjoy a spirited conversation and try to encourage original thought.

    For me Christmas is starting to feel like Groundhog Day

    This is a difficult time for many of us. In a few minutes I am leaving for another round of chemo therapy which will continue for the rest of my life unless there is divine intervention or a yet to be discovered cure for this type of cancer. My hope and wish is that all of us take the time to...

    Given the sometimes adversarial heavy handed approach that some FAA folks employ as SOP I try to avoid making myself a target. There has been a lot of problems caused by people trying to circumvent the rules especially in this area (91 v 119 v 135) so better to be super careful than foolishly...

    Doc-me too! Arguing with the FAA is about as productive as arguing with the IRS. You might win, but the odds are not in your favor, their resources far exceed yours, and they don't have to pay any legal expenses. To borrow an old phrase from Inspector Callahan, do you feel lucky?

    How much longer to fix the 737 Max

    Gordon Bethune got it right with you can make a pizza that is so cheap no one will buy it. Upper management's inability to see the forest for the trees crosses all industries and knows no bounds.

    Consider for a moment that maybe it is not about you. Life is to be celebrated and shared! How about giving to others not just this time of the year but all year! Support a charity, be ready to smile at and be friendly to all, open a door in short reach beyond yourself...be a pipeline to fill...

    To cut to the quick, your understanding or interpretation does not matter, only the FAA's counts. And as an earlier poster said if you really want to find out have your attorney ask the FAA based on the actual business entities...an d be prepared for bad news.

    Hello Katherine and thank you! How is Anchorage? Passed through there several times decades ago when stationed at Adak. You mentioned New York, are you on a grand tour of the lower 48? While visiting ERAU did you spend any time at their Observatory? They had a great program with a lot of...

    Big brother is watching... From 8000 feet....

    Considering the way the government does things it may be cheaper for them to buy fuel at APA instead of BKF. Remember the old retractable US Government ball point pens? The whole pen was less expensive than the refills! Security is always another world onto itself. Sometimes it makes sense...

    Any feedback on this airport? Is there more than 1 FBO (website only shows Legend)? Thinking about APA-PRC in a C-182 or C-35 probably March time frame with 2-3 night stopover. Thanks for info, Jon

    I'm confused

    Amazing how the feds sometimes miss the forest because the trees are blocking their view.

    Issues with Abbott 14 day Libre glucose monitoring system?

    Most of the time this system gives accurate readings and the trend data is super helpful. But there are times when the readings, especially at or the below about 80 when huge errors are present. This seems to happen mostly after about 2100. When I draw blood and use my old system it shows my...

    Issue with checkride

    All too often people get away with this crap because no one says anything. Please don't let this miscreant slither away. You are probably not the first to let the feds know about this DPE but hopefully you can and will be the last because they fire him.
