Maybe he thought the little black dot on the runway was ants! New glasses, Jim use the benefits to get new specs.....

No matter who it is. Pilots. Passengers. etc....I think it is good government when policies and regulations are created to keep a balance of the interests of the public and the individual.
Such instances where agencies made up of people who are accountable to no one can act with absolute authority and in breach of due process is not only frustrating, it is an outrage.

Sad part is, bureaucracy like that gets entrenched and is hard to reverse, even with an administration that tries. Even if we change all in November, it will be a long process. It will really depend if you get an administrator or department head that cares and tries to do a job or just somebody that is the recipient of patronage and is just there to draw a hefty check and enjoy the perks. It may be because I know him personally, but if we could get somebody like James Lee Witt heading up some of these agencies and turn them upside down like he did FEMA a few years back, something might happen. Breach of due process is unacceptable.
I think a "Pilot's Bill of Rights" is a great idea and long overdue so he did something great in that...as far as his piloting skills...Sounds like something a student pilot would do!
I'm in favor of any legislation that gives more power to individuals and less to the government.
Recently someone put a plane down in Glendale after passing an airport on a rough engine. Someone suggested it was a foolish choice and this forum reacted by saying the anyone not there could not stand in judgement. Anyone standing in Inhofe's shoes, here?
I'm not saying he is anything but what he has been called, but I find something of a double-standard here. Am i wrong?
