heh Ken, I have a feeling this thread may hit some servere turbulence :)Gotta add my two cents...>Just as it is a pity that we "Pretend, Wannabe Pilots" don't have the ability to fly in real life......Not quite sure what you mean. If your saying that "why dont FS pilots fly in real life" you should be beaten with a salmon. :+Take Care,Jason :-wave(A FS Pilot and REAL World Student Pilot)

Maybe...For those posts which users feel should be moved, there is always the Alert link which will tell many people at AVSim about it.However, that requires a user to be a little proactive and WANT to help US moderators out. Somehow I don't think some users care.

Good post :)Actually, the FAA take a dim view of traffic infractions. This is especially true when you're booked a DUI, as a pilot you are required to report it to the FAA, and enforcement action can result- and almost certainly will if you don't report it. I have heard that speeding (at least repeated to the point that it's considered irresponsible) is also viewed very dimly by the FAA.The reasoning is simple: If you can't be trusted to drive within the law, then can you be trusted to fly within the regulations, where you don't expect that a controller will notice but you could be causing a danger to others.I used to (within reason) run the gambit and drive after a few drinks (not when I "thought" I was too drunk to drive). However, I'm not going to throw 2 years and over $6,000 down the drain in losing my license, so I never try this now- nor speeding for that matter.It gets worse. If you ever apply for an airline job, they are very interested in any speeding tickets you have gotten in the past from driving.Bruce.
