Differing views

Balzer's book is a disturbing example of self-delusion and his account, which included portraying himself as the victim of a tyrannical captain (me), provoked a firestorm of letters from NWA pilots...

Yorkshire Tyke

It's abundantly clear that you have a rigid, fixed, entrenched notion, a defend-to-the-death idea that alcoholics and addicts "volunteer" for a life of alcoholism and addiction. Somehow, some way,...

SR71

I do not wish to harm or embarrass anyone. I try (not always successfully) to not do or say something I'm not willing to put in the open. If something is said in an expressed confidence I honor that;...

To Thing et al

There seems to be some inane idea that anyone talking about, or trying to explain, alcoholism is thereby justifying or excusing the behavior that results from it.

That's nonsense and is NOT what...

Well, that's not quite true. I don't want to rehash all I wrote quite some while back so go back and take a look at the referral link if you're interested.

Thank you for your calm and measured approach

I first came into contact with FL during the discussion about pilots who were in trouble drinking. To be more specific, I was the first airline pilot ever arrested and sent to prison for having flown...

Recovering...or recovered. Does it make any difference?

So...who cares? Each person must find their own level of comfort with this disease in order to accomodate their recovery and achieve - and maintain - their sobriety.

Since alcoholism is a...

Exclamation Disclosure of alcoholism

Dear Mr. Miller,

You've asked a tough question. My answer will most likely be one that some, perhaps many, will not fully understand.

As far as employment is concerned, the Americans with...

I apologize, Another Number

The tongue in cheek entirely went past me, and I apologize to you.
