Listen now
Description
This week we are joined by repeat guest and fan favorite, Joe LaRusso. Joe is a pilot and aviation lawyer that helps aviators get their wings aka their medical license . Joe reached out and wanted to come back on the show to spill the tea over some, you guessed it, FAA gossip. This time they are in hot water over pulling 2000 plus medicals from retired military pilots. We question whether this is legal and why the FAA would take such a drastic action when they are unable to handle the current situation at the OKC office. Joe reminds our audience why we need to be vocal with congress and demand aeromedical reform while we have the momentum to do so; as well as how to advocate if you are fearful of the FAA. • If you or a loved one is struggling, help is available.
