The Mouthwash Defense, Part II
I don't know what kind of evidence there could be to acquit these guys. I don't recall everything that's come out about this case. I dunno their company rules on drinking, or when they had their last drink, etc.
We only get a scant few facts through news. The attorneys get the whole ball of wax. My point was we're not getting all the facts right now, and something could come out later that could make this event much different than it seems. I seriously doubt it, though.
And, of course, don't forget the NW guy who went to prison, served his time, got out, was reinstated despite a felony conviction and retired.
By the way, that event still bugs me. We folks who are on the outside looking in strive to keep our noses clean, primarily because that's what we're supposed to do, but also for the sake of our careers. One false move, and we can be history as far as our aviation careers go. However, get the job, and you can fly a plane drunk, go to prison, and get your job back. I just don't get it.
