Someone grant this woman an honorary doctorate and put her out of her misery. This level of earth shattering thinking transcends mere mortality, and should be tapped forthwith to better mankind. Or at least serve as a tagline to a cheap cartoon somewhere.
And you can still get bent.
Aristotle. Galileo. Thoreau. Emerson. The Russian.
Just when we thought brilliance had no end. At least now we know.
Still waffling in the understanding, though. Perhaps you can clarify, as you can't have it both ways...you firmly assert that the time and date isn't on the identification strip, but at the same time assert that it is. When you're done changing your story, pick one and stick to it.
Is it...
You are correct, the FAA would not get the date on the ID-strip. The only way the FAA would get the date is if the date was in the written in the desciption. Or, they could obtain it through investigative methods.
Or is it...
No I'm not! The date is on the strip. The strip gets removed.
Time doesn't matter. People are still misusing the system the same way they were ten years ago.
Amazing that it hasn't changed then, isn't it? You see a great problem. The FAA doesn't see this problem (save for Mr. Corrie, who seems to be a lone voice in the wilderness). NASA doesn't see this problem. It hasn't hindered the ASRS program. The problem doesn't exist, except perhaps in your own feeble mind. Further, adhering to the tenets of the program and taking full advantage of any protections it may offer is not misusing the system; it's using the system precisely within the guidelines that prescribe and potect the system. Without those protections, the system would not be...therefore those who submit to the system under any approved circumstance are not misusing it as you assert, but giving their full support.
That a pilot receives the benifit of not being prosecuted for his decision to support the system by providing a timely report, is of no concern to you or anyone else. It's for this reason that the pilot provides the report in the first place, and it's to receive this report that the system exists. The FAA provides a valueable service to the system itself by agreeing to waive certain penalties in honor of the attitude of compliance shown by those who submit a timely and lawful report.
The system is not broken, as the system doesn't involve the waiving of penalties. The system exists to take reports.
The FAA isn't broken or at fault in any way, as the FAA desires to see submitters provide information without fear of recrimination. The FAA's effort at honoring the system by waiving penalties is worthy of applause.
You're determined to prove otherwise, and your determination makes no impact on the program. It certainly does leave you coming off looking and sounding like a babbling idiot, however.
The most appro statement made on the subject on this thread thus far was A Squared's analogy to the rake and the lake of fecal material. He is, of course right. No pilot is at fault for taking advantage of the protections offered, and the system doesn't suffer one iota for those who do. It never has.
That was posted for JAFI to find out where to find an ASRS seach feature. Pay attention.
This is a good time for you to pay attention. JAFI is FAA. JAFI knows where to find this information. JAFI called you out; he told you he finds your story hard to swallow. You apparently missed the subtlety; JAFI, FAA employee, asked about the FAA getting these NTSB reports, as he, the FAA employee, has never seen one come across his desk, save for one sent in by a pilot...whereas YOU suggested that the FAA obtained reports from NASA. He then asked you for specifics and references, and you stupidly provided a link to the ASRS program itself. JAFI, FAA employee, went so far as to tell you that this isn't how the system works. Perhaps you just need to pay more attention.
Further, JAFI asked you, as did I, how getting fired negates or mitigates certificate action. Again, he asked you for specifics, and references, and you provided the link to the ASRS program...which as we've already proven in quotes, does just the opposite, in fact, EXACTLY the opposite, of what you state it does. Which of course is standard, as you are nearly always exactly wrong...perpetually 180 degrees from the truth, save for those times when you change your story in mid stride, as we've also addressed above.
Keep plugging away, our little one handed student moving wasted babushka. Though you'll never redeem yourself from buying your way into your career, you might salvage some semblence of this mess of a reputation. If you had any sense at all, you'd let it die and slink away, but so long as you're intending to provide cheap entertainment...we'll be here for you.
Think carefully before you reply. It's really hard to top "get bent," or "duh," but you can do it if you supercharge that little vodka soaked grey cell of yours. Break a leg.
