Hell, I remember a (true) story where a Co-Pilot I know very well, a friend of mine, had to sit left seat to taxi the aircraft out to the runway because the Captain was too drunk to do it.
That airplane only had a first generation very rudimentary autopilot, never mind coupled approaches and gee whiz navigation with moving maps.
By God, I remember the days when the President of the Airline used to call the local Bar and demand that one of his Captains get his ass to the airport for an ad-hoc DC-8 trip to Europe, or all of them ( in the Bar ) would be fired. ( Another true story. )
Uhmmm...did we work at the same place???? I know of a DO that had to call the bar in Germany to uhmmm.....get in contact with some people....Kinda funny..... As well as those other instances...hmmm
