Max Trescott interviews Dr. John Trowbridge, a physician and former senior Aviation Medical Examiner, to tackle a hidden yet critical safety topic: how over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications contribute to general aviation accidents. Studies have found that up to 40% of fatal accidents involve pilots with impairing substances in their system—ranging from allergy medications to sleep aids to alcohol. The problem? Many of these substances are legal and even commonplace, yet can significantly degrade judgment, memory, attention, and coordination. Dr. Trowbridge emphasizes that many pilots—and even their doctors—are unaware of FAA wait-time guidelines. He explains the FAA's “5x rule,” which states that a pilot must wait five times the recommended dosage interval before flying. So if a medication is taken every six hours, the pilot should wait 30 hours after the last dose. For 24-hour medications like Zyrtec, the wait time stretches to five full days. The discussion highlights the particular dangers of first-generation antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine), which are highly sedating and frequently found in sleep aids like Tylenol PM, NyQuil, and Unisom. These medications, even when taken the night before, can impair cognitive function well into the next day. Alarmingly, Benadryl is the most commonly detected OTC drug in fatal GA accidents. Dr. Trowbridge also warns about second-generation antihistamines like Zyrtec and Xyzal. While marketed as “non-drowsy,” these can still cause subtle sedation, especially in combination with alcohol or other medications. Alternatives like Allegra and Claritin are usually safer and FAA-approved—but only after personal ground-testing and AME consultation. Beyond antihistamines, they explore other drug categories. For pain relief, medications like aspirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, and Aleve are generally safe, but anything with “PM” on the label likely contains sedating ingredients. Prescription painkillers like codeine are outright disqualifying. Dr. Trowbridge shares unconventional options too, like topical lidocaine, coconut oil, and even horse liniment—though with cautions about application and legality. Sleep aids are another minefield. Melatonin is the only one on the FAA's “go list,” and even it should be ground-tested first. Nasal decongestants such as Afrin and Sudafed can raise blood pressure and cause jitteriness, making natural remedies like saline rinses or cool vapor inhalation preferable. Cough medications also pose risks. Products with dextromethorphan (like DayQuil or Delsym) can sedate, as can multi-symptom formulas marked “PM” or “nighttime.” Gastrointestinal issues are more straightforward: most antacids like Tums and Maalox are safe, but anti-diarrheals like Imodium are not, due to sedation risks. UTIs are covered with non-sedating options like AZO and D-Mannose, but Dr. Trowbridge cautions pilots never to fly if symptomatic or on unfamiliar antibiotics. The conversation then turns to alcohol. The FAA's limit is 0.04%, but even lower levels can impair judgment, night vision, and reaction time—especially when combined with other medications or altitude-related hypoxia. Max cites an older FAA study showing that alcohol above 0.04% was found in 7% of fatal pilot crashes, with 3% involving both alcohol and drugs. Finally, Dr. Trowbridge emphasizes the importance of pilot self-awareness and due diligence. Most doctors are not trained in FAA regulations and may prescribe disqualifying medications unless reminded. He urges pilots to always research their medications, consult their AME, and even speak with pharmacists about interactions and cognitive side effects. Dr. Trowbridge's website, ClearedForTakeoff.info, offers in-depth presentations on pilot health concerns like sleep, sinus issues, inflammation, and safe alternatives to disqualifying drugs. His goal is to help pilots avoid both illness and medication risks, empowering them to stay flying—and stay safe.

Mark Sundlov, Director of the Soldier's Memorial joins Megan Lynch Soldiers Memorial to Honor Tuskegee Airmen in St. Louis, highlighting the legacy of the first Black military pilots and their ties to St. Louis.

In the third and final hour, Rongey has been summoned to jury duty. He and Amy want to know if you are working today, and whether his delivery business is a good idea. Lastly, Mark Sundlov, Director of the Soldier's Memorial joins us to honor Tuskegee Airmen in St. Louis.

In this episode, host F/O Ryan Argenta and Training Committee Chair, F/O Charlie Mader, unpack a growing pattern of dysfunction in Delta's Training Planning Department. Based on a steady stream of pilot reports, we highlight how disorganized scheduling, vague guidance, poor hotel logistics, and a lack of proper training support are creating avoidable obstacles for pilots — and undermining the standards outlined in the PWA. While our instructors remain professional and committed, it's clear that deeper issues in management's planning priorities and accountability are affecting pilot readiness and operational trust. We break down key concerns, explain what pilots need to watch for and what to do when affected, and discuss how the MEC is pushing for real solutions. Topics include:No-notice schedule changes and lack of required communicationInadequate hotel accommodations and rest protectionMissing seat supportPWA compliance concerns and ongoing grievancesWhat pilots can do now to protect themselves and push for change Delta pilots deserve a training system that works as hard as they do — this episode lays out what needs to change and how we get there.

Send us a textEver wondered what happens when legal expertise meets digital art collecting? Artie Handz, head of marketing at Verse and founder of Artie Gallery, takes us on a journey through his fascinating transition from courtroom to crypto art.The spark ignited during Christmas 2020 when an article about NBA Top Shot landed in Artie's inbox. Having previously written about asset digitization in his MBA program years earlier, he felt an immediate connection to the concept. "I was all in," Artie explains, describing his transition from childhood sports card collector to owning thousands of NFTs, including prestigious pieces like his CryptoPunk purchased just before the 2021 price surge.What makes Web3 special for Artie is the elimination of traditional barriers between artists and collectors. Unlike the walled-off gallery system, digital art enables direct connections with creators worldwide. "You get to see it being built, made, painted, created, coded," he shares. "You're like a proud parent sometimes when it releases." This democratization represents a fundamental shift in how art is experienced and valued.Looking toward the future, Artie predicts we'll eventually stop using qualifiers like "digital art" or "AI art" – everything will simply be "art" again. He anticipates innovation from unexpected sources, perhaps from "some 17-year-old kid" who will introduce something revolutionary that changes the entire landscape. However, challenges remain, including questions about mass adoption, market volatility, and the long-term accessibility of blockchain-based art.Beyond his digital pursuits, Artie revealed surprising personal dimensions – he's both a private pilot and a fifth-generation cattle rancher with a 37,000-acre family ranch in Wyoming. Now focused on his role at Verse and his personal gallery, he's preparing to launch "The Book of Hope," a basketball-themed collection that bridges his love of sports with meaningful artistic expression.Follow Artie's journey as he continues breaking new ground in the evolving world of digital art collecting and curation. Whether you're a seasoned collector or crypto-curious, his insights offer valuable perspective on navigating this rapidly changing creative frontier.https://x.com/punk7635Support the show

On this week's Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: What makes a union meeting worth showing up to? On the Labor Notes Podcast, organizers dive into how to make meetings matter—and why members sometimes stay away for good reason. On Power at Work, the newly formed Washington Post Tech Guild explains how and why tech workers—long considered outside the traditional bounds of labor organizing—built a winning union campaign at one of the nation's most influential newsrooms. On Economics for the People, Chris Sturr and Mike Osh examine how short staffing—once seen as a crisis—is now a corporate strategy, from hospitals to warehouses. The Engage Podcast explores how Delta is undermining state sick leave laws, even as it touts its "Delta family" values. And from The Dig and Green and Red: what does fashion say about power—and what does Star Wars' Andor say about rebellion? Turns out, quite a lot.

While the current state of the New Orleans Saints quarterback room is up for debate, what isn't is the standing of the franchise if one were to put together a list that encapsulates this entire century to date. It's not if the Fleur de Lis are in the top 10, but where? And are they top 5 with Drew Brees, Aaron Brooks and Derek Carr? Jim Derry and Gabe Henderson have some fun with their first “Dat List” on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 383) presented by Evangeline Securities. Interestingly, their lists are very similar except in a few spots. They go into detail on their top 12 and have fun interacting with the live audience. Also, we ask a nearly impossible question: “How could a baseball team possibly go 59-0 through an entire season?” Luckily, there is someone who can answer that question, and it's LSU-Shreveport coach Brad Neffendorf, who just guided the Pilots to a perfect season and a NAIA World Series. He shares his thoughts and experiences from the past few months and some vignettes.

Last weekend, Dillard University hosted a memorial service to honor the lives of 19 Black New Orleanians, whose skulls were unlawfully taken to Leipzig, Germany in the 1880s. The memorial also drew attention to the history of racist pseudoscience in an effort of repatriation alongside the University of Leipzig. Dr. Eva Baham, retired Dillard University professor and chair of Dillard's Cultural Repatriation Committee, helped lead the patriation efforts working with the University of Leipzig, and joins us for more on this story.It's a big week for baseball in Louisiana. On Saturday, the LSU Tigers will play their first game of the Super Regionals in Baton Rouge. But last Friday, LSU Shreveport Pilots made history when they became the first college baseball team ever to win every game of their season. The Pilots went 59-0, capping off their perfect season by winning the NAIA championship and giving their school their first national title in any sport. Head baseball coach Brad Neffendorf joins us to discuss the thrilling end to a historic season. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

On this episode of Engage, host First Officer Ryan Argenta discusses how Delta is actively opposing state laws that were enacted to provide employees with an enhanced sick leave benefit. Specifically, the Company is attempting to circumvent, ignore or litigate state sick laws that provide employees who live or work in that state with benefits more generous than those offered by their employers. Pilots based in LAX, MSP, DTW, SEA and NYC are familiar with Delta's ongoing efforts to prevent them from using their state sick benefit in order to care for themselves and their families. Those attempting to use their sick leave are often meet with resistance, have their sick claims denied or receive “counseling” from Chief Pilots. Special guests David Martin, Senior Legislative Rep, and Jeff Pavlak, Manager of Policy and Legislation for ALPA National, discuss this concerning problem and address how ALPA is aggressively fighting for Delta's compliance. The group talks about what pilots can do to affect change on a broader level and specifically what pilots can do who need to use their state sick enhanced benefits or have been denied by Delta. (Recorded May 22, 2025)

A cabin door pops open just after takeoff. It's noisy, surprising—but the aircraft is still flying just fine. So why are general aviation pilots still crashing and dying in these scenarios? In this episode, Max explores the unsettling trend of fatal accidents caused not by mechanical failure, but by how pilots react to in-flight distractions—specifically, an open cabin or baggage door. In just the first five months of 2025, four U.S. GA crashes involved doors opening shortly after takeoff. Three were fatal; the fourth resulted in serious burn injuries. Max walks through each accident in detail, including the tragic crashes of a Beech Baron in Colorado, a Vans RV-10 in California, a Beech A36TC in Pennsylvania, and a Piper Saratoga in Florida. In all cases, the door opening startled the pilot, who either tried to immediately return at low altitude or became distracted from flying. The result: stalls, spins, or uncontrolled impacts—none of which were caused by the open door itself. Drawing from FAA guidance, NTSB investigations, and personal experience with over two dozen open-door incidents, Max explains exactly how pilots should handle this situation. The key? Don't panic. Don't try to fix the problem in the air. Fly the airplane, climb to pattern altitude, and land normally. You'll also learn about door designs that are more prone to issues—like gull-wing doors on RV-10s and Columbias, or rear doors on Diamonds—and the importance of educating passengers on how to respond. The episode also includes real-world listener stories, POH comparisons across different aircraft, and a review of FAA training materials that stress proper task management in abnormal situations. Max reminds pilots that an open door is not an emergency—it's a test of focus. If mishandled, it can become a fatal distraction. But with the right knowledge and discipline, it should be a non-event. This episode is a must-listen for every GA pilot—because distractions happen, and it's how we respond that makes the difference.

We want our airline pilots to fly only when they're healthy, which can lead to masking symptoms of mental illness. Helen Ouyang is an emergency physician and associate professor at Columbia University. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss rules around pilot health — which can discourage them to seek necessary treatment for fear of being deemed unfit to fly — and why there are both pros and cons to the policy. Her article in The New York Times is “Why Airline Pilots Feel Pushed to Hide Their Mental Illness.”  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
