Hi folks, A recent thread in the Q & A section got me to giving this more thought. This thread is for gear mfd/certificated in the USA under the FAA TSO system. * Who can declare a piece of certficated equipment non-airworthy? While I have read many, many FAA documents in the last 59 yrs, I know that I have not read them all. I have never found any reference on who [ other than the FAA ] can declare a piece of equipment non-airworthy. The FAA usually does this by means of an Airworthiness Directive [ AD ]. I have 'heard' that this subject has been discussed within the PIA. Apparently, one thinking is that the TSO label is the property of the mfr; therefore, the mfr can remove it. I disagree with this argument. IMO the equipment is the property of the owner. Thoughts? Jerry Baumchen * I would be interested in how this is handled in other countries. It might offer some insight as to what could be done here in the USA.

Hi Joe, Could it be North Bakersfield Police Dep't? Jerry Baumchen

Hi 610, My bad. I should have said, 'Here in Oregon . . . ' My apologies. Jerry Baumchen PS) By 'padded overtime' I meant worked as much overtime as they could to increase the total income of their last year of work. The PERS system here in Oregon uses the income of their last yr of work to calculate their retirement payments. PPS) Re: Not in California. Could you provide some details on how it works there?
-
Hi Joe, It also does not include the fact that most of them pad their overtime in their last year of work to get a VERY much larger retirement. It is what it is. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, Yesterday, as I watched both of the NFL teams that I wanted to win, lose, I did notice that no female players were on the field. Overall, winsor, and you, are correct. IMO Winsor made a blanket statement that was & is wrong. Jerry Baumchen

Hi winsor, I do NOT come here to be entertained. I was responding to your obviously wrong, blanket statement: There's no way a natural-born woman can keep up with someone who was born male. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, I see no advantage. I do see additional costs to process that blank ballot. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, I went to work for the federal gov't. in 1969. I was hired, worked & retired under the Civil Service Retirement System ( CSRS ). During Pres. Reagan's first term in office, Congress passed legislation for a replacement system, the Federal Employees Retirement System ( FERS ). All new hires were under FERS. Both CSRS & FERS employees worked along side of each other without any problems. I suggest that these local gov'ts do the same; new hires under a new system with no union recognized. The existing employees get to keep their union representation. Eventually, the cities, counties, and states will gain control over their employees. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Our insane gun culture in this country now brings us to 7 dead; all because of a $100 repair bill: Half Moon Bay shooting sparked by $100 repair bill, prosecutor says - oregonlive.com Somehow, we have to come up with a solution to change this. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, I really cannot come to grips on why this 'Compulsory Voting' is even being proposed. Our efforts should be as you post. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi Ken, The proposed law says that a voter can return a blank ballot => voted. Therefore, why bother? Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi folks, I thought we might kick this one around: a new proposal to make voting in elections compulsory Washington Democrats back proposal to make voting legally required - OPB I am opposed to any such effort. I do not think it would accomplish anything. Thoughts? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Rich, The Portland Fire Bureau has never had a problem in getting recruits. Far more apply than are accepted. It is the same for my local fire dep't. Unions are the issue according to Joe Weber & I. Jerry Baumchen 5-month member of the Portland Fire Bureau - 900+ people took the test & I came out #1 - I hated that job

Hi Robert, From your link: The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a Thursday Facebook post said Russia's army had run out of steam in the Zaporizhzhia region I would caution the General Staff to stay away from building windows, also. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Now, it seems like it has been going on for quite some time: more such oops moments will emerge She wanted something good for show-and-tell, and that’s how classified documents ended up at school in 1984 - oregonlive.com As airdvr said, 'What a clusterfuck.' Yup, Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi Joe, This is the problem. Take away their unions & they will be of a different mind set. IMO no city, county, state should recognize any public employee's union. * 'You want to work here, here are the terms of your employment.' Take it or leave it. Jerry Baumchen * Remember, in 1981, when the Air Traffic Controllers union thought they could make Reagan to bow to them?

Hi Joe, They drank the KoolAid. It is like water under a bridge, you cannot move it upstream. Looks like the separation discussions really do not work. * Jerry Baumchen * Worked for me, I could not get rid of that military stuff fast enough.

Hi Sky, What I am liking is that Kevin McCarthy & Jim Jordan, are now completely silent on this since the Pence document situation has been in the news. Jerry Baumchen

Hi airdvr, Just so I can understand your concerns, would you quantity 'kids' so I can know just what ages you're are referring to? An 8-yr old is a LOT different than a 17-yr old. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, Small world. One of my best friends for the past 60 yrs lives in Ferndale. Been down there to visit him many, many times. Jerry Baumchen
