advice on co-worker issue

[flint4xx]

Let me understand this...

Alledged A-hole likes you. Birds of a feather...

You only know what he told you while drinking. You don't know the real story. Therefore, doing anything would make you a snitch. See previous paragraph.

He could be testing you.

Maybe his eyes are good enough to pass, barely.

Do you call the police when your friends drive while under the influence? Do you narc on potsmokers at a Jimmy Buffet concert?

Tom Monfils reported the "alleged" theft of company property to police. A group of men found out about this and obtained a copy of the audio tape of the phone call made to the police, utilizing the FOIA. When they determined it was Tom Monfils, they beat him up, tied a weight around his neck and threw him into a paper repulping vat, where he subsequently became part of that days production of Northern Bathroom Tissue...over the theft of an extension cord.

Yep. If there is no pressing need for the safety or well-being of someone in danger due to the foul actions of another .... mind your own business!

You do not have a dog in this color-blind fight. Let it go. Life is too short to get involved in BS that is not your concern.

Couldn't have said it better myself. In psychology class a while back a classmate routinely cheated on quizzes and told me how he went about doing it. I didn't care what he did. I just told him to do it at his own risk.


On the other hand if I'm driving on a lonely road at 3AM and the car behind me is undoubtedly swerving and weaving every which way I certainly will call the police for my own safety as well as his.

These people will eventually trip themselves up with an ethics related incident up the road...besides, why would you pay good money for school and then not attempt to learn something. It would be the same as paying to lease a car and then not driving it.

Yea, I'm with you on that one...I had one of those incidents happen to me not to long ago. Some chick came up behind me on the three lane US 94 near Waukesha...I thought she was going to ram me...so I drove on the shoulder untill she passed. Then I followed her for a while so that I could try to warn other drivers. Since I don't have a cell phone, there wasn't much I could do.

I'm not kidding, after she passed me, she was going from shoulder to shoulder on a three lane highway...I mean driving on both shoulders. At one point I thought she was going to take a bridge abutment out.

Looking back on it now, I kind of wish I could have gotten a license plate and phoned it in, but she outpaced me and then took an off ramp. Hopefully a cop got her in town, before she hurt anybody. After she almost took out the bridge abutment...I backed off and I figured I didn't want to spook her into crashing, so it was pretty hard to get a lic plate number.

Forget about it. His day will come. Besides what damage will you do if all he has to do is get a waiver.

Nobody likes a rat.

His time will come.

Now coordinating tie to sport coat is something else.

Whoa! Does that mean all the SWA pilots with those awful ties are really just colorblind?

 

[ms6073]

Has color deficiency been shown irrefutably to be a cause of any aircraft accident?

I do not think so but I do recall reading about an incident in which an airliner (MD-88?) either overran or landed short at JFK. I think that the NTSB found vision color deficiency was a contributing factor possibly as a result of the PICs prescription use of Viagra.

If memory serves, the pilot flying during that accident was wearing contact lenses that corrected near vision in one eye and far vision in the other. The NTSB thought this diminished his depth perception. There was a more recent accident wherein the SIC was flying and landed short. He had a color vision waiver and the NTSB thought maybe he couldn't see the VASI. However, both the Captain (who has normal color vision) and the SIC swear they did follow the VASI. A possibility is that the VASI was grossly mis-aligned.
