Phone Transport and ask for Dr. Jim Pfaff

Asking Jim Pfaff for medical advice would be like asking your refrigerator for diet advice. Sure, it's involved in the process, but I would be truly startled to get any kind of intelligent response.

I would rather stick needles in my eyeballs.

Could you get a Cat 1 if you did that?

they meet attitude with attitude

I held a Cat ! with cast on both legs and finished my Commercial off with them.

In the private sector, we are expected to deal in a professional, consistent manner with people we might or might not personally like. That's something that's clearly not required in the public sector.

You had a cast on both legs or on each leg? Having a cast on both legs would kind of make it hard to do a lot of things- like pee and put pants on.

rare is the one that doesn't reak of arrogance

Hello Everyone,

I recently broke my ankle. I have a cast and am gonna be out of commission for 6 weeks, possibly longer. I have to get a category 1 medical to begin commercial training in a couple of months. I have 2 questions:

1. Can I be examined for a category 1 medical with my cast on?

2. I currently have category 3 medical, after I get out of my cast and I feel good enough to fly. do I have pay for another exam, or simply talk to a CAME? Or do I not have to inform a CAME? After the cast comes off I will be off all meds.

Clearly I have much to learn from you.

The important thing is not the technical validity of your arguments,
rather how much you schmooze someone. Got that. Bribery
and corruption, all the way.

PS I assume you are a big fan of LBJ's leadership in the Vietnam
war. Why didn't he run for a second term, again?

Come on Colonel, while I enjoy reading most of your posts, rare is the one that doesn't reak of arrogance (in caps.)

What, do you change personalities when not writing here? Does your "private sector...professional, consistent manner with people" function in your dealing with the other side, i.e., anybody working at Transport?

My guess is, no, you always go in with guns blazing, even when that's not the best tactic. "Winning hearts and minds" is not just some Lyndon Baines Johnson bullshit; it actually works most of the time.

Now, I'm still at a ski resort. Just heading to the pub, my first toast will be, "To the Colonel, may he long reign o'er us."

Not sure I could hang with him day in and day out! To big a personality!!!!!

But I'd bet he could teach you how to stay alive in anything from an S2B to an L39! J
