Too Old?

You're wrong again, and obviously know nothing about the medical process or

Well, if a licensed physician joins the group and cares to comment, I'll be
happy to read his posts.

Can you cite one single case where that has ever happened to an AME?

The average doctor can expect about one malpractice suit in his career, and
AMEs are not immune.

funds because of the early closing and had to repay over $1 million.

So when did the airport reopen? Does the mayor pay the fines out of his
pocket?

Both can be immediately incapacitating.

If one develops cardiovascular or respiratory problems, they fail the
medical because they have cardiovascular or respiratory problems, not
because they smoke.

Because the FAA doesn't care if you smoke, no matter how much it increases
your risk of sudden or subtle incapacitation. But smoking raises your risk of
heart attack and makes you more likely to be incapacitated at altitude.

so no you can't

What part of the airport was already scheduled to be closed are you
having trouble understanding?

If you had stayed awake in high school civics you would know that
the governmental body is responsible for the actions of it's officials.

Drinking can be, almost, which is why it illegal to drink and drive,
fly, or operate a boat.

As for smoking, that is utter, pulled out of your ass, nonsense.

Well, if a licensed physician joins the group and cares to comment, I'll be
happy to read his posts.

Anthony, as a licensed pilot, a physician, flight surgeon, and AME, I don't
need to even bother responding to your ridiculous challenge.

Besides, I thought you had little regard for credentials? Is there something
not factual in my comments that you are not a physician or pilot and have
never held a medical? If so, please enlighten the rest of us.

Seems like you're a little sensitive on the subject, or the fact that you
have no credibility-it certainly looked like an emotional response.

His next comment will be something along the lines of 'anyone could say that

Anthony is getting boringly predictable isn't he?
