Drunk AGAIN?

[COOPERVANE]

Surely this can't have happened again?

From the majors section:

Not Again!!?!
New York Post Article...
He loves to fly high and it showed.
A Delta pilot was so plastered when he was yanked from the cockpit of a Detroit-bound flight in London that he thought the plane was headed to the Big Apple, it was reported yesterday.
First Officer George LaPerle, 48, reeked of alcohol as he boarded Flight 5 at Heathrow Airport on Nov. 1 -- and he was sitting with his shoelaces untied at the controls when cops caught up to him, the London Sun reported.
The besotted Bostonian's blood-alcohol level was five times the legal limit for pilots, the newspaper said.
The airman was hauled off the Boeing 757, which was carrying 213 passengers, by Scotland Yard and kept in custody overnight.
LaPerle is due back in a British court Nov. 16 to face charges of being trashed on the tarmac.
Delta suspended the allegedly sloshed pilot pending the outcome of the case.
The incident is déjà vu for Delta. On Sept. 15, an allegedly soused pilot was taken off a flight from Amsterdam to Newark and arrested by Dutch authorities.

The Journalist is in-love with synonyms for alcohol intoxication: Flying High, Plastered, Besotted, Trashed, and Soused. People really notice when you try to fly toasted. Cheerio...

Do you see this Uncle Bunkle??? If he had been wearing cowboy boots, none of this would have happened!!!!

Nope 767-400

Nope 767-400

I was referring to this from the story..."The airman was hauled off the Boeing 757, which was carrying 213 passengers, by Scotland Yard and kept in custody overnight." But that is the media, who knows if it was even a Boeing!

Eyewitnesses said he was mumbling something about RJs, calling his hot "wife", and that he couldn't get Flightinfo to come up on his iphone. It was General Lee!!

Have you ever read the Post? Very melodramatic.

Sometimes the bottle speaks to you and the only way to make it stop is to drink it. He should seek help from ALPA services and hopefully get his job back flying hundreds of people across the Atlantic.

Might score higher on a SAT but more than likely can't fly her way out of paper sack unless it's VFR.

Does this mean you wouldn't J/S on her plane?

 

[GINCHBLASTER]

Does this mean you wouldn't J/S on her plane?

I would, but I'd call her dirty names behind her back while smiling and saying thank you.

Smarter doesn't mean they can fly worth s***.

If I'd flown w/her before and didn't trust her ummmmmmmm no. Can't argue the facts bro or sis is it???
No secret DAL has hired some real winners without any experience but could pass any test you put in front of them (as long as they had the gouge)

Drunk Every Leg Till Arrested?

Gotta love the "book smart don't mean nothing, they ain't got no street smarts.." argument. Timeless and tired. (disclaimer: I scored 1900 on my SATs, but I still believe I won a vacation everytime I get called and only have to pay a processing fee of $2100).

saw one of the famous ones the other day, heard she couldn't get thru DAL training, back at ASA, this true?

My prior company started out with 216 on a 757-200 (later down to 185...put in business class). 757-300 was good for 247 pax....

Odd. When I took it, a 1600 was the highest score you could get. Have things changed or did you mean a "6" instead of a "9"?


EDIT: I just looked this up. I took the SAT in the late 80's and it seems 2400 is now the highest score one can achieve.
