Have you ever been convicted of ......

<DIR>American Pilots Association President is a member of Maryland Pilots Association group...while President of APA. WHY would anyone place this and/or push legistlators to place this in their application for pilot? This is a severe conflict with USCG FEDERAL LICENSE QUESTIONAIRE. What is the penalty for lying on a Federal License renewal form......and still being able to answer the below question for the state of Maryland ? Why the confusion ?

Have you been convicted of or received probation before judgment for any drug offense committed after January 1, 1991? Yes No

Let me understand this: If someone was taking and hooked on an assortmant of cocktail prescriptions, ate pot laced brownies at some party, or had a severe problem with cocaine or some other drug.....and kicked the habit on December 31st - 1990....right before the ball fell in time Square.....came to this clowns office and inquired about joining...would this count ?

Legistlators folks do not just wake up one day, yawn, stretch, pass gas...get out of bed and say " Hey...I'm going to introduce legistlation today on the hill which will induce positive future characters in our States Pilotage ranks ". There is a reason why this date is there.... and it ain't because of legistlators passing gas........


And can somebody tell me what the hell does the following question mean ? ......

Have you ever been convicted of a felony; or of a misdemeanor directly related to your fitness and qualifications to provide pilotage?

</DIR> Yes No



How the heck does one commit a misdemeanor and have it effect your fitness......?

THESE ARE THE MOST REALISTIC ANSWERS I COULD THINK OF.............


a) Fall down drunk off your ass during field sobriety test and hit your head?


b) Be on everything under the sun....get underway in fog...get lost....situationaly unaware, hit a bridge ....
negligently pollute our waters....costing around 70 million in cleanup costs....and be found only guilty of misdemeanor charges ..... so as to get license back in 2010
