We already did this thread, but yeah. The Federal Air Surgeon (presumably after Secretary Buttigieg or someone else who way outranks her leaving a note on her desk to fix her broken system) going on her little YouTube jaunt about how much 'better' and 'safer' the system is (not even close) was probably the defining moment of aviation politics in 2023, for me, anyway.It makes sense they are getting serious about substance abuse by doubling down on punishing those who self reported....

Oh, but sir, they did buy me, from sign-in to sign-out or on any day that isn't an X-day, and after or outside of that only in accordance with the PWA. It's an arrangement I generally find most tolerable if not pleasant, but as expressed elsewhere, too, different strokes for different folks. This isn't for everyone, straight up.I think it's all companies - they think they own you when they "buy" you for some cost... that mindset has got to change
Some airmen I can think of might disagree--if they were still around, that is."We asked ourselves if we are awesome, and we decided that we are, and are going to get more awesome".
They didn't buy you. They're leasing you.Oh, but sir, they did buy me, from sign-in to sign-out or on any day that isn't an X-day, and after or outside of that only in accordance with the PWA.

Being an interchangeable part has both benefits and drawbacks. I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, myself.

They’re slightly different. Find it strange I’m cleared to control planes carrying thousands of people but having issues to fly a 172.
I've heard a panic vector or two, but technically haven't seen you fly. I"M JUST SAYIN!
Very similar to how I drive. Drunk!
I remember going through that like 8-10 years ago when I lost my wallet. Which I finally found this summer when I pulled out my suit to go to a career fairI’m embarrassed to admit it but I lost my medial somehow in my house when I had just got it. Thing just straight op vanished. Called the doc and was like yo I’m an idiot can I get a new one? He said no I can’t and not only that but I can’t do another medical for you for 90 days.
The temporary is only valid for 60 days.
I had to pull a lot of strings to get it all sorted out. They should just have a digital copy on file and you’re sorted.
No
The Inkjet printer at the AME is apparently the gold standard and only they can print it. But just once. It must be blessed by Ron Jeremy or something.

My last security clearance, one of the items that comes up is “…we weren’t able to find any confirmation that you applied for Selective Service at age 18..” (I did). But even if I had not, let’s see, 4 combat tours and, at the time, 22 years of military service later, what difference would it make? “…well yes, we saw all of that and it’s well and good, but the box for selective service, there’s a question on your completion of that…”.
This explains so very much. I still love the panic in you voice as you thought you’d have to send an airplane around because of me.Very similar to how I drive. Drunk!
