You would think that an adherent of Alex Jones would be disqualifying for a FAA medical. It seems to be disqualifying for retaining custody of children. The guy is too bizarre and crazy to comprehend.

And just how do you make bizarre statements to the press concerning a closed and unfortunate accident investigation, threaten your ex-wife, hold the police at bay with a gun, and get arrested for fraud in a casino and are still able to maintain a FAA physical and a position of captain in command of a 121 aircraft?

It does make one question the very concept of FAA "standards." It also leads to another interesting question. How does one fail multiple lie detector and personality profile screenings from the world's premier law enforcement agency and yet somehow be declared "sane" enough to hold an FAA Class 1 medical? The very purpose of the FBI process is to screen out sociopathic weirdos and sexual deviants. Shouldn't the FAA, at a minimum, strive to do the same?
-I had always wanted to be an FBI agent. With that singular goal in mind...
-Finally, I was selected to be interviewed in Kansas City in July of 1996. Seven of us in our region were selected to go, but only two of us passed the interview process. Myself and another girl. I was on top of the world, knowing that I was about to realize my dream.
-The polygraph exam was next, August 7, 1996, in San Antonio, Texas. I knew I had nothing to worry about, since I had never violated the FBI's drug policy and I had not lied on my application.
-After the polygraph was over, he told me I had failed. I almost passed out in disbelief.
-I wrote the Director several more times to no avail, my application was terminated in November of that year. My dreams were shattered.
-I am a licensed attorney, professional pilot, have law enforcement experience and with top scores but I was not competitive? Obviously I had been "black balled" by the erroneous polygraph results from the FBI.
-I will probably always be effected by the injustice of what happened.
-It is a shame, since all I wanted to do was to have a chance to serve my country and make my family proud.
Sincerely,
Mark C. Doyal
Point taken. But we know they are still lurking.
Understood sir. For myself though; whenever reflecting on the past decade's interaction (with all but a very few of them)...well...I have to wonder why after my "Umm...guys/gals; this nic thing isn't really going to work. Can we talk?" I ever even wasted a moment's time on them at all. I can only suppose their hopelessly infantile establishment of themselves as a purely imaginary "Army" of Fantasyland "Spartans"/"Battle" tested "Knights" and even "Dire Wolves" proved sufficiently amazing/amusing and even clinically interesting to do so at the time...one necessarily sometimes wondered when their first squadron of perhaps Dragons, or at least Pixies would naturally follow.
Bottom Line for current times though is that they're just a bunch of clueless, arrogant punk kids and perpetual adolescents that eventually received a proper and predictable
spanking. The only personal loss I suffered was in the waste of time...and most sadly; the forcible realization that the term "PIlot" sure-as-heck no longer means what it once did. We unfortunately now live in an age where even the pathetic likes of "Cap'n Aux" and the whole "Spartan" ilk aren't properly permitted to simply be hunted for sport.
Sigh...Oh well...Life goes on, and all must maintain some degree of a sense of humor within the adventure, lest we miss out on the immediate fun and all the generally good people around us.

Got to love that Airbus. Just sit back and don't touch anything.

A Couple of months ago the "WEST" pilots with their newly found war chest of cash decided to sue the company accuseing them of collusion with USAPA over "10h" guess since the NIC was not used ( Marty told them multiple times it never would ) , the lower tier of pilots were unhappy with their placement on the list, as if a multiple year leapfrog was not enough, go figure! Now they want monetary damages class action non the less , from American Airlines , Good for them, anybody got an update!

Dipstick!
Someone needs to refresh west f/o Ray Burkett with A330-200 bunk lock procedures. Poor Ray locked one set of latches for his snooze. He unlocked one when he wanted out, but forgot the other. He incorrectly thought the nefarious east pilots had locked him in, and proceeded to kick down the door to exit.
No sneaky east pilots Ray, just you.

Ray is still extremely angry that his Leonidas pipe dream went up in smoke. Just imagine his great career if they'd taken the deal at Wye River. Instead, he listened to a bunch of know-it-all yahoos like Johnny Mac, Johan DeVicq and Cap'n Aux.
Tragic.
Tragic.

Mark Peeping Tom and Brice LeCarre also get honorable mentions.
Just think if Brice's portly wife had some ethics and had not leaked the proprietary information that USAPA graciously shared with the AFA. It's quite possible that the senile fool Nicolau would have come up with a more equitable decision which would have been accepted by both sides.
Well, too late now. Brice and his portly, unethical wife started down a road that did not end well.
