Pilot found guilty on intoxication charge

What were the details? Did they get the 'someones getting quizzed' when they called in-range?

If the public knew how many pilots had problems with alcohol, the airline industry would grind to a halt.

If the "public" knew anything about most things they probably wouldn't do it... ever look inside a fast food milk shake machine? I dare ya...

16 hour duty day with 4 hours of sleep during a 8 hour overnight followed by another big day. Think they would get on board with that either? No wonder we drink

Funny part is that research shows that Sleep Deprivation and long hours can be just as bad as having a .5 BAC. But the government is okay with that!

Not when it's their own...

A couple of ATC guys nod off in the chair and BAM, new rules IMMEDIATELY!

Just amazing how that works.

In EWR a few months ago at the hotel bar. Many crews stay there. Every seat at the bar was filled by an airline pilot.

If I had a choice between taking a PC after being up for 18hr or a good nites sleep but a BAC of .10. I'll take the BAC. At least I'll be relaxed.
