At least there are certain mistakes he wont be making again...

Just remember, you're just as prone to make a fatal mistake as the next guy.... riddler or not

Respectfully,

Just curious.

Yes. We have a captain at Eagle with a prosthetic leg.

Yes you can.... You have to get a SODA, but if you can use the pedals just fine, there should be no problem.

It needed to be said. The original poster had the same amount of sarcasm.

Yeah I agree... but dont let another bad attitude from riddle speak for all of us.

Anybody ever fly or train with him? I hope he does make it back. It'd be a much needed turning point for the FAA in terms of Medical Flight Standards.

There are a few guys at comair with prosthetic legs. I wish him the best, but i don't see it happening.

I think the brain injury issue would be a much bigger hold-up for him than a prosthetic leg. Sounds like he has limited function in his remaining leg as well. I hope he gets a shot, but brain injuries are real hard to overcome I believe.

If I am not mistaken, the FO on that FedEx plane where the crew was attacked by the jumpseater had a brain injury - i believe he has lost his medical forever - can't even do the light sport thing in an LSA.

Good luck to him!

I certainly wish him the best of luck... What he's been through is every pilot's worst nightmare.
