"Flight" the movie

Boy, your cool! You can drink right up to the last minute!

funny enough, the wiki article about the movie says they were going to cast a woman for it first.... funny how Hollywood is singularly obsessed with casting anything but a straight white male as a pilot in this day and age.

The movie auditions were held by Delta's HR department.

it's the big single engine PT6 powered one... I don't know if it requires an actual type ratung or not but it IS a "Type" of Cessna.

I lost faith in the reality of the movie when the Captain was doing the walk around in the rain...that would never happen!

That depends on who the FO is.

Would be great if, in the movie, the investigation concluded that the pilot was suffering from the effects of fatigue, not alcohol. Showing the audience that the effects are very similar to one another.

Great movie, just has nothing really to do with flying, more about being a drunk and f-ing up your life.

I only saw the trailer...but the slow motion walk in the hotel lobby with shades on seems about right.
