GG,

No controller will EVER be in that position in this, or any other, case. No controller will ever be in a position, from the receiving end of a radio, to judge the physical condition of a pilot muchless call in the dogs on him.

I occasionally get a bit down about being retired...until I read a thread like this and know why it's gonna take a good bit of money to get me off the front porch.
