I can
understand why there is such a backlog right now due to staffing issues
and the fact that at least one of the staff physicians there was called
up to Iraq, but it's going on 4 months now since my exam, and still no
medical.

What you need to understand is that the FAA has been messed up (in this
regard) for many, many years. It has *nothing* to do with the War on
Terror, or the War in Iraq, or the "rush before Oshkosh" -- or any of the
dozens of other b.s. excuses I've heard for the last decade.

It has *everything* to do with the FAA being part of our bloated Federal
gubmint, with no one holding them accountable for job performance.

Good luck.
