Damned Lawyers

Yet another example of how the greedy lawyers are "ruining" GA.

The FAA and the "pilot" bear absolutely no responsibility.

Assuming the facts of the story are accurate, the FAA was deceived by the
pilot so I'm not sure why they should be held accountable.

This doesn't appear to be any different than someone having their
automobile driver's license revoked but drives anyway and then causes a
fatal accident.

(Since the target of this suit is an private estate, it's hard to see how a
decision can affect GA one way or another.)

If the article is accurate, I would say the FAA bears some responsibility
due to issuing a new certificate to someone who is using a false SSN.
That would fall under the heading of "negligence."


Of course, I believe the entire FAA culture is negligent regarding GA.
FAA is in the pockets of lobbying groups (like AOPA) who get their demands
rubber stamped, and the FAA's dual missions are hopelessly conflicted:
promoting increased aviation AND (theoretically) keeping the skies safe.


All the threads on the OSH chaos confirm how easy it is for any fool to
get a ticket. I have witnessed them first hand, including my former CFI.

Come on now... everybody must know by now the FAA has only ONE mandate:

"We're not happy, until YOU'RE not happy"

You don't know much about HIPA do you?

I think you don't understand what a "ticket" really is.

What does HIPAA have to do with the FAA?

FAA is not permitted access to medical records.

Read the NTSB report on this accident.
Not all lawsuits are frivolous.

I don't see how a Social Security Number correlates to flying skills. Please
explain.

Are people with even numbered Social Security Numbers better pilots than odd
numbered Social Security Numbers?

What if I accidentally wrote the wrong Social Security Number on my
application? Would this make me crash?

Outstanding scientific research. Did you publish your findings, or was
something said regarding the limited size of your population?
