Anchorage TV reported last night that the pilot is now saying he had one drink 8 hours before he showed up for duty.

....must have taken two hands to lift that one.


By the way, this is the same airline that mistakenly used a taxiway for takeoff in a passenger A-340 last winter. Gotta be a better way to get to New York. But cabotage is good, right?

That flight is a crew change/tech stop only. So it is not cabotage.

Looks like this time they changed the crew twice.

The best part is even though they realized they tagged thier mains on a huge snowbank, they kept going all the way to Taipei... Thier snafoo had already made Taiwaneese TV when they got there and were fired on the spot.

Fly China Airlines!
