Aren't there more important issues for the FAA to worry about?

If they didn't spend so much time and effort trying to yank Pilot Cert's, what the heck would they do with themselves?! How would they justify their paychecks

Exclamation Pay Attention, Youngsters!

People get fired for this every couple of years...as innocuous as it seems, the FAA will nail you to the wall IF they can ID you.

The folks who get busted invariably turn themsleves in by posting stuff on public internet sites...usually with their real name And yes the FAA can subpoena internet organizations to get your name if needed.

Any pictures that are obviously below 10,000' should be kept private...

And No, the FAA doesn't have anything better to do, unless it's a page-by-page audit of my Jepp manual on a SLC-CMH run

I find it amusing how every FAA inspector who used to be a pilot tells some long story about why they left flying the line to work there and how they needed to be home every night because of their family, blah blah blah. Like there is an acceptable reason for turning traitor on your own people.

And it was funny to hear the bunch of them at the FSDO recently all lamenting about the cutbacks in federal spending and how they might not get the $200 per hour pay they have gotten used to. Ironically I have never gotten a straight answer from any FAA inspector about any questions I have had but they all seem pretty sure of themselves in the jumpseat. It's just disgusting.

Those who can't do, inspect.

The thing is that there are about 50 different videos on you tube showing Takeoffs and landings. It will be interesting to see if they try and prosecute all of them.
