Really you guys are arguing minutia and the fine points--do you think our customers will feel any different?
Sorry, the damage has been done, true or not, no matter the facts, the public jury will rule based on the national news--even if the facts result in exoneration. He has tarnished Southwest and his fellow pilots. Moreover, he has tarnished our profession with more bad judgement.
This will be the joke on every late night show and comedy circuit. We will all probably have to talk to others ad-nauseum about the incident and embarassingly have to defend our profession.
It's not like it hasn't happen before, and want happen again. Party hard on an overnight? Geeesh! Save those activities for off the clock events.
We're not in college or high school anymore. Perception is everything. Everytime I have to be drug or alcohol tested, I think about the very small percentage of idiots like this that have brought it on!
Profession's gone dude. It's a low-paying job now. It is fun flying airplanes so that makes it better.
