Discount Airline Pilot Guy

Or NWA and AWA: We fly drunk, and it shows.

 

[AlabamaMan!!]

I was thinking Southwest myself. Or ATA.

I wasn't sure if he was talking about low cost airlines or pilots who are willing to fly jets for 40 bucks an hour.

Was the airline discounting or the pilot?

In any event it was a good ad.

Now, Now, Dizel 8,
To be fair, they got caught before they could actually fly.

IIRC, the NWA 727 crew did indeed fly!

Bud, the official "fly drunker than skunk, yet get your job back at NWA" beer.

Oh Yeah, Thats right!
I stand corrected. Lyle P. That is amazing he got his job back and the AWA guys are in jail. Was he drinking Bud? I guess he thought it was ok because it was an American beer.

 

[Skank]

Is it wrong that when I heard that ad, I thought of jetBlue pilots?

No, it's just right for you.

I don't think that's quite accurate. My recollection of the infamous NWA flight out of Fargo, ND, was that the DC-9 crew was arrested after they arrived at MSP and given sobriety tests.

Can 9 bucks even by a bud in an airport these days?
