Jim in Anchorage

Think of the Moody Blues lyric"another day is useless and spent" Just switch year for day.

Because they saw how the Bills"regroup"

Look I know they won but 50 yards net rushing is NOT what I call working.

Your not alone. I have a million FAA incompetence story's. think if your livelyhood was put on hold while they "looked for the paperwork".

Wheres Charlyon?

Backward.

I dont know what that means

Yes it was but I think most [all] rioters could care less-its more a free pass to loot and burn.

I am going to show support immediately by busting a store window and stealing a TV.[60 inch plasma]

Right down to the fake Kennedy accent.

What the hell are you talking about? Give me a clear intelligent question and I may answer it.

You would have beat me in a wager on that one. I dug out my FAR/AIM book and sure enough part 67.103 does have some highly technical medical jargon that I think applies to that condition. But have been tru probably 6 medicals[most recent 4/08] and just cant recall any AME doing that. But you were able to get a special issuance? I know in some cases[like color blindness] there is something called "demonstrated ability" if the condition is stable.

How did that turn up at a FAA medical? Thats normally a read the wall chart simple eye test.

Not. I would rather teach my dog to open a safe then show a liberal common sense.

What was the medical problem? Not being intrusive but I have to deal with a FAA med every two years and this sounds like like something I can add to the can anyone who walks upright at the FAA make some sense?

I don't know how they do it elsewhere but in Alaska planes are rented "wet" meaning you pay a certain amount per hour period and the FBO coverer's the fuel cost-But of course the higher AV is , the per hour lease may go up.

"More research is needed" Read- funding grant.

Notice I did NOT try to explain it to to her.If I presented it as a case of taking obscene profits from the bad oil company's and giving it to the workers well by golly she would march done the streets of Juneau with her best Castro t shirt on and demand a BIGGER dividend.

P.S to above get your FAA medical before you spend a nickel on flight lessons. You just dont know till its in your hands.

Got my ticket in Alaska years ago and I would say the the most important thing is find a first instructor that is going to stick around and go from first solo to your private check ride. Must CFIs are low time pilots just looking to build hours so they can move on to a real job. The result is you spend 10 hours flying with instructor "A" and discover next time you schedule a lesson "A" has got a new job with trans love airlines and now you start over with a new instructor who doesn't have a clue what your capable of. Its no fun to demonstrate the same old maneuvers over and over to different instructors[i would have to check my log book, but I think I had 6 different instructors as a student] I don't know how many flight schools you have in your area but I would look for a CFI that is older and retired from a aviation career and is not looking to move on.

While I was reading this a moose standing in my front yard farted. Since it was a first offense, I only issued a warning, but if I see it again there will be severe fines and/or imprisonment [and loss of a carbon credit]

That sort of stupidity is one more score for the terrorists. I remember in the weeks after 9/11 the NYFD insisted on having a crew of firefighters standing around during the rubble removal,in case a "brother" was found. On your own time, very noble but they damm well made sure this was on the clock -all overtime.

Sorry I have not seen Republican behavior like this-this is a long way from playing footsie in a mens rooms stall-behavior that would be tolerated, if not applauded if committed by a Democrat.

One of this days I will explain to you just what the Alaska permanent fund dividend is-Wait scratch that you would never comprehend anything that complex-stick with the reason you ever knew about it in the first place-your obsession with Palin-now her daughters boyfriends mother[still not a in-law-how juicey is that]?

Is this what the next 4 years are going to be like?
