Actually, someone forgot to shake a fist at the cause of the other half of the automobile fatalities that occur every year...the ones that weren't alcohol related. What's their excuse? Ahahahahahaha...freaking humans.

Those nastly little things called facts...hahhahahahaha.

I'm a pilot, I don't deal in reality. :laugh: I read it on another flight info post. Bad facts, pass them on. All your base will belong to us! http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?t=87461

I was thinking about this thread (and it hurt my brain). But I read something on here about not being able to get in Canada if you have a DUI unless you pay a bunch of money. So this might "screw you" if the airline your interested in gos into Canada. I wish I knew details, but I don't. Maybe someone else can add something about it?

 

[RUNWAYHOG]

Well I am 100% sure that if you have a convection of any sort, you (the airline you work for) must apply for a wavier to enter Canada. But it's not a big deal. Don't sweet it, just keep driving on and keep working towards where you want to be. Skywest has a note on there app that states just that. Go to thier web site and go through the app, you will find it. But like I said, don't worry about it.

After further review the judges say, very little. I misread a post.

Show up to the interview intoxicated........

Just so you know.....

I got wasted tonight, and took a cab home.

Oh and people get "f'ed up" and drive and kill people on purpose. That is why if you kill someone it is vehicular manslaughter, not vehicular homicide. I'm sorry for your friends, truely. But with today's standards in some states on what intoxicated is anyone can get a DUI. Ex: UTAH is .04! One beer for some people! Playing the BAC game is BS, the law should be .00. Zero tolerance. Setting a "limit" just sets people up to think that they are okay to drive. It has become a way for states to make money. If they actually cared wouldn't they have you do something besides give them money?

I agree the law should be .00. But nobody, even myself wants to have to bring a designated driver to dinner for just one or two beers.
We've all gone out intending to have "one or two" and ended up closing the place down. But what happens after that is still a choice. In my case, I'll either take a cab or get picked up. The person who chooses to drive anyway is knowingly putting others at risk.
If you get behind the wheel pissed drunk, it could be argued that yes, in fact, you ARE out to kill someone. You are knowingly putting people in danger, and premeditation could be argued in court.
But in this country it truly is all about the money.

The problem is that your ability to make a decision after closing the place down is impaired just like you.

Don’t sweat it too much, accidents happen just be thankful no one was hurt. You did show that you are human and as a human, you make mistakes. You did choose to exercise your right as a human to make a mistake. It is imperative that you learn from this one. Luckily, it happened 5 years ago. The 2007 FAR 67.207 under mental standards states ANY bal test showing over 0.04 % constitutes alcohol dependency, meaning NO medical 1st, 2nd or 3rd for at least 2 years. The test doesn’t have to be from DOT either.
I have no respect for people who think if you put a skid mark on your record you should stop flying professionally. Most of the best pilots I know have some kind of mark on their record, but they did learn from it and make corrections accordingly. Good luck, be safe, and think when you drink.

.

There has been no change to FAR 67.107/.207 it always read this way:

2) A verified positive drug test result, an alcohol test result of 0.04 or greater alcohol concentration, or a refusal to submit to a drug or alcohol test required by the U.S. Department of Transportation or an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation;

A police breathalyzer for DUI does not fall under DOT rules/ requirements.

I think you need to grab a current FAR/AIM bro..
As of June 21, 2006 Effective Date
FAR 107/207/307 state...
(b) No substance abuse within the preceding 2 years defined as:
(1) Same as before
(2) A verified positive drug test result, an alcohol test result of 0.04 or greater alcohol concentration,.. OR.. a refusal to submit to a drug or alcohol test required by the US Department of Transportation.. OR.. an agency of the US Department of Transportation; or exc..exc..

That is out of the FAR/AIM 2007
Nice try though, I would rather have it the old way

When you get an interview, let them know that you did learn from it, and you are now less likely to drink and drive than anyone there who has not had a DUI. If you really did learn from it, and want to continue life as a pilot, that really will be the case.
If you’re out drinking just remember, a cab may seem expensive, but sure is cheaper that a DUI!
