Delta pilot acquitted of being drunk...

cjh, I just got a "page not found" from the paper's website. Maybe it's old news to them.

This isn't over, and in fact it isn't even a reason to rejoice. The pilot in question has beat a local complaint, but the circumstances of a pilot merely being charged with this offense diminishes the status of the pilot community in the eyes of the flying public, something I think we can agree that we don't need right now.

Next up: the feds. Here, he may not be so fortunate.


OJ? He's searching for the real killer on every golf course in a sunny climate...

"If we found he broke any FAA certifications, we would have to take action on that," agency spokesman Christopher White said.

Certifications?

"Davis will be prosecuted under a 1986 law aimed at cracking down on substance abuse in the transportation industry. If convicted, he could face a maximum of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to FAA rules."

Prison?! Great! I bet the FAA would like to hand out prison sentences.

Now, convicted of a state felony in Fla - that may get you time in the joint.
