    Entry-level KA200 PDK

    PM Sent I'm interested. I would want to see some clarification on the SIC requirement, but from where I'm sitting any job is better than no job. PM Sent.

    What are you 5 years old? You sound like a kid throwing a temper tantrum. You misread my post as I very clearly pointed out and rather than simply acknowledging your error and moving on you want to keep clinging to your mistaken analysis like a dog with a bone. Do you want to attempt to explain...

    Pilots detained in Brazil

    Okay smartass here is what I ACTUALLY WROTE: Instead of addressing the actual point of my post you replied with an irrelvant cut and paste from the Wisconsin state statutes regarding pedestrians "darting" out in traffic. I tried to ignore it and get the discussion back on topic but you insist...

    Pilots detained in Brazil

    "darted", stood in the middle of the road, whatever. Whether or not there's a specific traffic code that might have gotten me off the hook is beside the point. Whatever the circumstances are the only thing that matters in my book is A) I didn't do it on purpose, B) I wasn't driving 80 mph...

    Pilots detained in Brazil

    You know I was reminded of this thread driving home tonight. There was a kid standing on the sidewalk under a streetlight after dark. I was driving by wondering what this kid was up to and as I glanced in my rearview mirror I saw another kid standing on the opposite side of the street completely...

    As if death wasn't a big enough motivator. :rolleyes:

    Only a pilot could be that cynical. :D

    FN FAL, Thanks for the clarification. Although I'm not up on all the legal mumbo jumbo my basic premise was correct, the law really is changing. What was once civil is now becoming criminal. And not only can they get you for "negligence" but also for not excercising "reasonable care"...

    I think we're all pretty much on the same page. Deliberately ignoring an altitude assignment on an IFR flight would probably reach the threshold of criminal. But we have to be careful to distinguish deliberate acts and mere mistakes, bad judgement, etc. Deliberately doing something so reckless...

    But typically aren't these considered civil matters? I would hate to wind up in jail because I didn't take care of my car. Just because there are human factors doesn't make very accident a crime. Am I criminally liable if I didn't get enough sleep the night before an accident where fatigue is...

    Well I'm not a lawyer. And I'm not saying no one should ever be punished if they do something wrong. But used to be the worst thing that could happen to you unless you deliberately caused an accident was a civil action where you lost your career, your finances, and your certificates. Now we're...

    Pilots detained in Brazil

    Well the subject of US Citizens traveling outside the country is an interesting topic. And I think a lot of people are naive when it comes to that, (going to Belize is not like going to Florida!) However I'm more interested in the criminalization of accidents aspect. This is a big deal IMO. Are...

    Note to self: If ever involved in mishap overseas leave country ASAP.

    I'm not saying nothing should happen. But how comfortable are you letting a 3rd world justice system make that decision?

    But we're not talking about justice then we're talking about revenge.

    Pilots detained in Brazil

    I understand what you're getting at. But think about what you're advocating is that really the kind of world you want to live in? If your daughter goes out one night and while "knowingly" exceeding the speed limit flips her SUV and kills a bunch of people are you ready to send her to the big...

    I had a feeling this was coming. Got to make you feel all warm and fuzzy about flying internationally. IMO it's part of a broader trend of criminalizing accidents. Be careful not to run over a pedestrian while talking on your cell phone you just might wind up in prison.

    What the hell?

    I hijacked this from another post because it's oh so appropriate here. Set your mood controls to 19. :D http://www.ebaumsworld.com/2006/09/airportofthefuture.html
