I'm trying to bail you out, bro....keep it down!

Well I stand corrected then. In your original post I didn't see anything about the FAA.

Only if your purpose is arguing with sailing. If you guys are trying to highlight some sort of important distinction on this "issue", you're failing.

Just did the latest Call to Action for the Open Skies Fairness thing... took like 2 seconds. It's important because the comment period is open and your gov't reps need to hear from you now. Go do it!

Your right, my first post was a simple statement on what Delta requires. Should have kept it to that.

How does one go about obtaining an aircraft that can be flown fairly economically about 100 hours per year, carry 4 + bags at least 300nm, and so on and so forth?

Consider a Piper Cherokee. A late 60's or early 70's PA 28-140/150 costs less than a current minivan/SUV. For less than $40K, you can get a IFR current, 3-4 seat and very fun airplane. If you don't need glass/GPS/autopilot, the price is very affordable. Besides, the avionics change constantly, a handheld GPS and Ipad are all you need. You definitely want to hangar your new ride, and besides, it's not airplane storage, it's a man cave.

Alright, so have we figured I'd not wearing your hat in public view and outside the aircraft while in uniform is an FAA violation and certificate action is a definite maybe?

and I just realized my trousers have 2 inch belt loops, not 1 3/4 Inches as per the FOM. Is this like a 709 ride?

You are the one who assumed he had his license suspended by the FAA. He didn't say anything about the FAA. Just that he got 30 days off.

Um, no...here's his post:

No. But the FAA will send Mary to your house to lecture you.
