man, alot of you guys/gals are pretty harsh in your judgement of these guys.
I agree that these guys should be severly punished; but jail time? Give me a f-in break. These guys do not deserve (IMO) to be taken away from their wives/families/friends and enrolled in a few years of anal cavity enlargement therapy (ACET). These guys were incredibly stupid. But that's just it; they made a huge mistake. They obviously had some pretty hardcore problems. Revoke all their certs, fire 'em, fine 'em, force AA enrollment on 'em, 10 years of community service, become big brother, adopt African AIDS baby, etc., etc. Dont send 'em to "pound-me-in-the-ass" prison. Some of you goody-good guys make me sick by actually saying that they deserve prison. You guys ever make a big mistake? When you did, did you hope that you would be severely punished? -or did you try to learn from it, vow to never do it again, and thank your lucky stars that you "got away with it" without hurting anyone.
Sleep deprivation studies show that (I forget the exact stats) being short a few hours sleep can have the same effect of being alcohol impaired.
Ever worked a full duty day on 3 hours sleep? Ever worked the same with no sleep? Ever had a late afternoon show for a 8,10,12 hour duty day(night) after having a full day of activities with only 4,5,6, hours of sleep? Ever worked with a mild cold? Ever worked right after having a bad, long, drawn-out argument with your spouse? Ever drank on an overnight? (let's say you have a 24 layover, get considerably drunk, cut it off at 12 hrs. Company rules covered, faa covered, legally sober.....are you gonna be 100% - Nope). Say you have an accident/incident following one of the above situations and the ensuing investigation's findings reveal you were negligent. Should you do jail time?
Bottom line: the punishment does not fit the crime.
