Thanks - figured there was far-less to it than the hysterics

Post #208,269 by Ashton 5/23/05 4:32:26 PM Reply	Thanks - figured there was far-less to it than the hysterics So then.. a genuine communications cock-up (though it would be interesteing to fathom why the earlier use of same freq. failed, later worked. This could be the dread intermittent natch, but What Timing on the part of that dirty little transistor!) I trust that the histrionics re license removal have been nullified (?) {Sheesh} Those helicopter guys were close enough to SEE that these guys were trying to hear them, etc. Hell, if the placard could be read: WTF couldn't the h. pilot just POINT --> GO THAT WAY (for now) without calling in the jet jocks? Etc. as in, fucking GESTICULATE. Nobody can miss a gesture with an arm + finger pointing repeatedly. (Well, except for a Repo hell-bent on invasion)

Or just sit it out a year and retake the written and practical. These days it doesn't take much to make the FAA act like storm troopers. Besides, what was this pilot thinking? That he lived in a free country or something? Sheesh! bcnu, Mikem Eine Leute. Eine Welt. Ein F\ufffdhrer. God Bless America.

"Your operation of civil aircraft N5826G under these circumstances demonstrates either a complete disregard or lack of understanding of basic requirements for the safe operation of aircraft," the letter said. "These failures establish that you lack the qualifications necessary to hold an airman certificate."

(Emphasis Mine) The emergency revocation represents the most severe penalty the FAA can levy on a pilot. "This action we're taking reflects the seriousness of the incident," FAA spokesman Greg Martin told AOPA in an interview Monday. Greg Martin, good little Bush-Youth, no? bcnu, Mikem Eine Leute.

Of course this leads to ever-increasing regulation until no one can maintain compliance. Kind of like the IRS. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]
