Yes SoCal.
But the point is a single FAA 'inspector' made a complaint and one of the most capable pilots on the planet was grounded. Only the intevention of the Australian option got Bob flying again. With the level of power the FAA have we would all expect considerably more responsibility.
If ATC or the CAA can simply ground people here where will it end? Maurice Kirk had his licence withdrawn by the CAA on little more than hearsay - remember that the FAA did not prosecute him and it took legal action to get his poo brown back.
And yet there are all sorts of people saying this chap should have been grounded. Why? Largely because of their prejudices. O'l gits drugs of choice are alcohol and tobacco - both significantly more lethal than Es. If one of you 'fail' a biennial flight (I know - but lets say you scare the instructor and he refuses to sign). Should you have your licence withdrawn? Or should you have additional training?
Given the choice of a glass of wine versus an E then the wine will have more impact. Like ot or not Es are pretty harmless - as legal or illegal drugs go.
Flying whilst impaired is dumb, but let's not let a generational difference hype this incident up to things that are in no way justified.
