True, you cannot legislate common sense, and Boyer really likes to muddy
the waters. Saying that people drive drunk, or drive or fly drunk too does not change anything). Besides, I have seen boaters and auto drivers being given sobriety checks when they were pulled over. How often does that happen with pilots? It's called a "ramp check", and the FAA does them at airports regularly. In my ten years of flying, I've seen one pilot being given a breath test, and I've been ramp checked (although not "breath tested") myself. Given how little GA flying actually occurs anymore, that's an amazingly high percentage of flights being checked. (Or I'm just lucky.) In that same period of time I've NEVER seen a motorist being given a breath test, even though I've driven exponentially more than I've flown. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
