This case infuriates me.

At the time, I had just finished sending in an appeal to being denied a medical clearance to become a pilot because of a history of clinical depression.

That appeal required undergoing a battery of tests, a psychological evaluation, multiple meetings with a therapist and a report from the same, and 15 hours of flight instruction plus a report of my performance by the flight instructors.

I intended to be professional. Everyone thought I was safe to fly.

I nevertheless thought the FAA would deny my appeal. I was right. [1]

So because I once had clinical depression, I can't get a medical. And yet, yahoos like this get to fly simply because stupidity and malice isn't as well-documented as a history of mental illness. Sigh...

To be clear, I don't think the FAA is at fault here; they didn't know, and they acted fast once he did it. They did a great job.

I just wish they would let me fly.

These posts you've been making might have more of an influence on your application than your medical history, bro.

You stated ..."So the United States must die.

But what will rise in its place will be even greater: Zion."

Bro, I would NOT want you flying my plane after reading that.

That's pretty bigoted.

Read the rest of the thread and my updated post. It's clear that I also believe I must have loyalty to the current government.

See D&C 134:5.

Please stop calling names and/or posting flamewar comments to HN, regardless of how nuts someone else is or you feel they are.
