When Dr. Lee took over your group,
I told him to continue with the tests.
:06:04
Your Schneiders have been following
this curve.
:06:07
Last week, you were here.
Now you're here.
:06:11
In my book, that means
you're washed-up with flying.
:06:14
- For how long?
- Maybe months. Maybe forever.
:06:17
I can't get by without my flight pay.
I have a wife and kids to support.
:06:21
- You can't do that on peanuts.
- These things are never easy on anyone.
:06:24
I won't take any grounding from you.
:06:26
If the Navy doesn't want experienced
pilots, I know who does.
:06:29
If you're smart,
stay out of airplanes.
:06:31
Stick around a couple months.
See what happens.
:06:33
Why stick around
and get turned down again?
:06:39
That's nice going.
:06:41
I don't know how we ever got along
around here without you.
:06:56
Don't resign, Tim.
I can fit you into a good ground job.
:06:59
You know there's no such thing
as a good ground job.
:07:01
I'd go crazy every time
a plane flew past.
:07:07
What's this other thing?
:07:08
Same thing you'd do
if you were kicked out.
:07:10
- Smoke?
- I got one.
:07:23
Why didn't you make him
stop flying sooner? Take a rest?
:07:26
Because flying is like adrenaline
to tense pilots.
:07:29
Take it away, and they fold up.
:07:30
So you keep them flying,
try to coax them back on their feet.
:07:34
But when the fatigue becomes chronic,
they're usually through.
:07:38
I know you hated it.
This is a hard business.
:07:42
A flight surgeon has to face the truth,
and often, it isn't very pleasant.
:07:46
It certainly isn't.
:07:48
Well, I guess I should have followed
my mother's fondest wish.
:07:51
She wanted me to be a violinist.
