Improper lane change - signal ticket

What that pilot does on his own time, especially in his own home, is as far as I'm comcerned his own business. Shouldn't be any problem there as long as he isn't casting a bad light on the airline by doing such things as posing with strippers while in uniform or what have you.

This is a violation of law in just about any city, and also does not support your argument because of the difference in trades. Even while performing side work, he's still engaged in his licensed trade.

Perhaps, but none have the disparity of the trucking industry.

The trucking industry is a hated one by certain elected officials, like those who would just as soon shut down the coal industry entirely. The rub is that the public at least to some extent knows of our importance because those with the slightest bit of common sense know that product doesn't just magically appear on store shelves out of thin air.

So, that leaves the "money grab" you and I are discussing.

I think it was decided on high to make it cost prohibitive to do this job, preferably to the point of nobody wanting to do it anymore. Few besides us are even aware of it, and if it's ever questioned, the inevitable overdramaticized response would likely be something to the effect "you WANT dangerous truckers on the road." Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.

Therefore, I question the Constitutionality of such malarkey on "Equal Protection" grounds under the 14th Amendment and it needs to be challenged.

 

True, but there's a bigger issue at work here.
