Could the FAA pull this test pilots ATP and other certs? If I was them (FAA) I would try to find some way to do it. If you are gonna lie intentionally to the FAA you might as well drop your plastic in a mailbox.

That way you can hop between 4 different tracks ... I never figured out why they called it 8 track when you could only go between 4 different tracks...

Why do they call them motor mounts when them mount engines not electrical motors?

When your house is on fire, why do you call the fire department. You don’t need someone to bring you a fire. You already have one. What you need is to call the water department. What you need is water.

These and other questions about which George Carlin is still seeking answers.

I never did get why they called them roofies, they should call em floories, cause you’re more likely to end up on the floor.

Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?

You are good. Only problem I ever had with George Carlin was when he started ragging on all those guys who golf. Most of the crowed in the live performance was booing him, as well. I think he dropped it from his act shortly after that.

They can clearly do that under some circumstances, one thing if he flat-out lied in black-and-white on a signed certification document. But dude having a chat or email with FAA employees to influence the process might be a far leap... the process is going to naturally have some give and take anyway.

Where do you draw the line? If your DPE asks if you cheat on your wife during the oral and you lie about it, can they revoke your ATP for that?

Also if he was not acting in an official capacity which required, by regulation, a pilot cert then it would be doubtful that his cert was in jeopardy. If a FSDO ASI goes to the furniture store during his lunch break and the salesman lies to him and rips him off, can he then take certificate action against the salesman's PPL?

They called them 8 track because 4 track was already taken. 😆 And there were only 2 looped channels on the 4 track players.

so with the new improved player that had twice the channels of the 4 track player? Mathematically it naturally had to be called 8 track.

At least thats my story on it.

PS.....stereo has 2 audio tracks per channel. Left/right. So it could be 4 × 2 = 8. Lol. Mono rules!

Some great philosophical questioning.

But the one that remains to be answered;

Why do they call it taking a dump?
