There are very few things that I have truly zero tolerance for but this is certainly one of them. I would tell a guy to call in sick but I don't think you should have to be a babysitter for a grown man. If you are too stupid or unprofessional to fly under the influence then you deserve anything you get. To call out the other guy for the other guy flying drunk? GMAB. I don't want my loved ones anywhere near this a@@hat. Find another job where your bad judgement won't kill hundreds.

Unless, of course, the "drunk" guy didn't realize he was intoxicated. Isn't that was intoxicated means?

If you suspect your flying partner is intoxicated insist he/she call in sick or do it for them - before you get to the airport.

We must have different dictionaries because that is not what intoxicated means. Even if a vindictive girlfriend dropped a dime on him he still had to blow over the limit. Stop defending a guy who made a dangerous decision. Sure, tell him to call in sick, urge him to get help, those are all good choices. Flying under the influence isn't.

You do what you want but I'm going to try to help a brother out if I have a hint he/she is impaired. Hope you never come across a situation where your career is ended because your flying partner stood by and watched the train wreck.

So true, bros before hoes!

I guess a drunk driver wiping out an innocent family is ok in your book too. Sorry, these dimwits have no business in this industry, or any other.

You got that right, I would make the dude phone in sick for his trip or I would do it for him, then make him call the HIMS Coordinator. That's how we roll, which is why you will never make it over at Southwest.
