Pilots allegedly report Ron White for Marijuana possession?

[Fly91]

Pilots who fly with a hang-over are much more dangerous than anyone anywhere that is driving a car or even flying while high on pot or hemp.

And we all know, for a fact, that thousands of pilots each day fly with a hang-over and some fly while under the influence of alcohol.

Yeah man, if the flight is operated Part 135 the pilots and other crewmembers ARE not responsible for anything a passenger brings on board that is illegal. Part 91, the pilots and other crewmembers CAN be held responsible.

It wasn't pot or another drug but.........
Years ago we were flying people out of the Bahamas due to an approaching Hurricane. One of the passengers got on with just a duffle bag. When we were going through customs at PBI the guy left this duffle bag on the luggage cart as everyone went through to get checked. The customs guy asked everyone, "who's bag is this on the cart". At first nobody said anything, so he asked again and then started to walk over to it. Then this guy said, "oh, thats mine." It had $410,000 in cash inside. They made us (crew) wait just until they counted it all and then said, "you guys can go, have a nice day." All they asked from us was to sign a paper saying we had no idea it was on board. Later on a couple months down the raod I asked the customs guy whatever happened with that guy, he said he turned out to be a known drug trafficker and the money was siezed. Don't know what happened to the guy though. Part 135, nothing can happen to the crew for illegal things being brought on by paying customers.

Many thanks. I was always kind of curious.

It IS a fact and inherent in the airline industry due to the stress encountered and the idle time during overnights. Plus, it's also a personality thing too, one found in many pilots.

I'm sure the airlines are bad, but you should see how many crew members drink in the cargo industry. Its hilarious. Your chin would hit the ground if you saw how these dudes can drink and still function. I never drink the day before I have to fly, especially if its an early morning departure. If its a late afternoon or early evening flight, I may have a few beers, maybe. But I have been out hanging with crew members at bars and with crew members of other airlines until about midnight, then I would leave to go back to the hotel. These freaks would drink hard liquor until 4am and still make it to the lobby by 7am-8am to meet the van to go to the airport. Smelling like a friggin liquor bottle and looking like a stool sample, I couldn't believe it. And they were drinking the entire time I mas there too. Mostly flight engineers is what I've seen do this and a few old timer pilots. I've never gone on a flight with a pilot in that state, but a bunch of times with flight engineers. If a pilot ever showed up like that I'd be telling him to call in sick or I'd have to make "The Call" to the company. We did once make a flight engineer do just that.

I don't know how they do it. I flew one time in my life hung-over, about 10 years ago and thats when I made the rule "no drinking the night before a flight."

This has to do with the price of tea in China...how?

If stupid people are doing stupid things all over the place it does not relieve you of any moral obligations.

So what are you saying, is that every single time you see something illegal being done, you have a moral obligation to call the authorities?

This could describe the effects of alcohol as well.

BTW, alcohol casues WAY more deaths than does marijuana use. Go do some more diggin' Holmes.

So? Alcohol is legal and more readily available. Marijuana is not.

Cars cause more deaths than alcohol.

Hamburgers cause more deaths than cars.

Old age cuases more deaths than hamburgers.

Want to keep playing this stupid game? Because you could make the case that because hamburgers are legal, MJ should be legal. You'd be a blithering idiot for trying it, but that hasn't stopped you from posting above.

MJ is illegal. The person in question had MJ. He was cited. End of story. Don't try to turn this guy into a poster child for legalizing pot. I mean, seriously, is that who you want to represent your side?

What I am saying is that if a person exercises their moral obligation to contact authorities, no one should question it...so long as they are correct. Malicious misuse or the legal system is, without a doubt, worse than a little MJ.

DANG! Hamburgers we way to far up that list.. I am toast!

Actually, Alcohol is not something always legal. Lots of laws in regards to age, possessing it while driving are driving, and there are places it is illegal within the US to possess it. You absolutely can not make a blanket statement that alcohol is "legal", because in many situations it is not.

The food arguments is actually valid, since people who are against MJ, bring up risk to ones body, and an unhealthy diet is far worse.

If you landed someplace where alcohol was illegal and your passenger had a small amount of liquor with him, would you call the police?

LOSER.

I am still curious how I was so dumb for asking how hemp is so harmful.

No, because I do my job and inform my passengers of any laws that they may be liable for before we depart. So, the answer is, they won't have anything illegal on them, that I know about. If I found out, then yes, they would be reported. This isn't a game of moral relativism. There is no such thing. Moral relativism is just some fancy term somebody made up to settle the cognitive dissonance created by their actions. There is right, there is wrong, there is nothing in between.
