What does their jobs have to do with anything?
Absolutely nothing. They were on a 24 hour overnight. They should have been more discreet, but their jobs have nothing to do with it. It does now, however..
The jobs become pertinent because these two were drunk out in the woods doing the nasty less than twelve hours before reporting for a scheduled flight. Pinnacle Airlines (their maybe ex-employer) has a twelve-hour “bottle to throttle” rule that you can’t drink within 12 hours of reporting for a flight.
Pilots and flight attendants knocking boots isn’t anything new in the airline industry. But getting plowed, doing it in the woods, and then wandering around the woods naked and getting so lost that they need a helicopter to find you, while your partner breaks into a marked fire department SUV to get a flashlight? That is some epic fail right there.
(And admittedly, I’m extremely conflicted about whether the flight attendant is guilty or not guilty. That’s a tough case to decide.)
