I disagree. I know hundreds of pilots, but not a single one who will fly
after drinking.

How many of them have been cited for driving while intoxicated?

I know plenty if people who will drive after drinking. I
mistrust your sample.

How many pilots do you know who will drive after drinking but won't fly?

In general, if a drinker manages to rationalize driving under the influence,
it's not really any different to rationalize flying under the influence. Even
airline pilots are caught at this.


I'm getting to feel more like Bertie. Your not only a closet idiot but
a big A** hole.

I'm gone. Have a bad day. I can't waste my more time with A** holes.

Then your pilot friends are not representative of the pilots under
discussion. The pilots being discussed are those who drink and drive.
Obviously, if someone is careful not to drink and drive, he'll
probably be at least as careful not to drink and fly.

I can think of at least ten

How many of them are still alive?

As I said, I mistrust your sample. I socialize with pilots and
non-pilots. How many pilots do you socialize with?

I don't socialize at all.


Surprise surprise.

Drinking and driving is different than being cited for drinking and driving.
Sorry, I assumed an english teacher would know that.

100%

That makes your sample size zero, and your argument pure speculation.

Drinking and driving alone doesn't count as an advanced stage of
addiction?

No.

Again nothing but idiot remarks. Please get with it. Since you
apparently don't fly yiu don't know the rules thuddddddddddddddddddd.

I don't have to fly to know the rules.

You keep talking about drugs. What drugs are you talking about?

Alcohol, in this case.

You can't be cited for it unless you're doing it.

If drinking and driving isn't addiction, what is? Risking your life just to
take a recreational drug sounds like quite an obsession to me.

Mx's "virtue" may be driven by his circumstances -- middle aged, poor,
unable to afford wine, and often not even a Big Mac.

But, there is one virtue we can cheer: he doesn't socialize. There may
be no one in Paris worthy of his company: he seeks recognition and
peership here. The plea for recognition is most likely the only reason
for his many posts: he is NOT a reliable source of information.

Which of course raises an interesting point. His website offers his
services as a tour guide. Potential customers, doing due diligence, if
they google him, will learn something of the personality he presents
here compared to the one he uses when he offers his services there.

They will have to decide if they want this arrogant obese shorts and
hiking boot wearing person serving as their guide. .

He's really augering in, isn't he?

It's clear that you don't understand addiction at all. There is ample
information available on the web that you should be able to enlighten
yourself about addiction without too much difficulty.

There are *many* reasons why flying after even a single drink is not
equivalent to driving under the same conditions. I know of no one of the
hundreds of members in our flying club who will fly after a drink.

There is also a reason why no DUI laws begin at 0.001%. Apparently, you
don't understand any of those reasons, either.

Why do you always sound like you have been drinking and deriving. You can
never seem do deduce zip ****.

Maybe we need to put a blow and go on your computer. But then you would
proably misunderstand and misuse it through simlation as well.
