I'll bet dollars to donuts that the folks who made the ruling have
got some good stats as well as field experience to back up
the two-year rule.


I'll bet they don't. I think it's a CYA rubber stamp policy for which
numerous exceptions are made. Do you think that every person with a
Medical who goes through rehab gets it revoked for two years? And, I'll
also bet that this sort of policy encourages people to lie to their
medical examiners.


Why would you think they don't there is plenty of recidivism rate date
available/

I think they do if they don't lie about it.

So do you think all disqualifing conditions just encourage people to lie to
the medical examiners? Of course they do. But if you get caught the chances
of getting a waiver are going drop signifigantly. Not to mention 61.59.

And rightfully so. But I think this one would also discourage people from
getting treatment.
