FAA doubling down on medicals…

[pwttogfk]

You just can’t make this stuff up…

Yup, just put your livelihood in our incompetent hands and relax. Great plan.

Per usual on anything FAA Aviation Medical related, the comments section FTW.

Video in case you have all Meta blocked.

"So what's more important in the grand scheme of things, 'living a long and healthy life' or 'gaming the system so you can fly longer'?"

Hey, Phil Dixon, that is a false dichotomy.

Wonder why the faa is trying to thin the rank’s through medical losses? Between this and the lies about reporting mental issues, it sure seems like they are trying to trick pilots into losing their medicals.

"How many takes did you have to do before you could get through that with a straight face?"

My favorite comment.

I cant believe this video. I mean I can...but wow.

Where does one get this douchey FAA “swag” this guy is wearing?

My man is rocking the FAA equivalent of a MAGA hat.

I was a young CFI getting my medical renewed and my AME, apparently rhetorically asked me “so how’s everything else?” and I opened my mouth and started to talk and he cut me off “hey, don’t tell me. Go find yourself a different doctor and ask him.”

Dear video guy, whoever you are. What was your ultimate expected result when you had the idea for the video?

I’m not saying to lie, but people don’t realize that talking to your AME should start with a Miranda Warning.

What a brilliant idea. I definitely think those lying will now come forward. Thank you, FAA for keeping our skies safe and pilots cared for.

The FAA does not care for pilots (it's not their job) but they do seem antiquated in their methods of assuring pilots aren't unfit to fly. If you want pilots on prescribed drugs they take to remedy depression or other issues we need to have piss tests to verify they're taking them. Is that an issue?

he got that dawg in him

Which is better? Losing your medical and having no income, or dying at an earlier age because you lost your career and had no insurance or money for medical treatment?

Check and mate ;-)

I think a lot of it, if you look at the hints during the video, is based on information he really didn't understand or didn't correlate properly.

While he was off making that video, the Schwann's guy was making another delivery at his house
