Fly high with JetBlue!
Hey, it worked out for Brother Den-zel. I saw the movie!
“Eight hours bottle to throttle.”
Or maybe it HAD been 8 hours and he started out at .300.

Was it this guy?
(Foster Brooks and Dean Martin, 4.5 minutes long)
We are talking Florida Man here and 0.17 is nothing for him!
I learned something interesting in in driver’s ed for ticket dismissal.
( I have commercial/instrument, ASMEL )
If you are stopped for DWI in Texas and your profession is Commercial Pilot, they can ticket you with the more stringent blood alcohol limits that apply to pilots. There was some other profession that set different limits as well, but I forget what it was.
Anyone in a position of responsibility on a public conveyance found impaired should get time, real time, long time. No kidding.. ten years.. twenty.
While I’m at it.. Anyone who tosses something from an overpass onto traffic.. death.
PS: There is little more obnoxious than a drunk trying to pass as sober.
The pilot soon to be known as “former pilot”
.17?
Is that bad?
Most sad. He will probably never fly again for an airline again. Even more sad is the years of training and flying to reach this level. He or it is a she Fuc-ed up.
Any pilot would have to be drunk to pilot the Flying Circus of Jet Blue ghetto airlines.
He might be one of them that flies better drunk.
When the Cockpit becomes a Crock-Pit.
He is D-O-N-E. Dang the bad luck. 52 is a great age to be baggin the young new attendants.
If they put a drunk pilot in the cockpit, I want to be treated to a few barrel rolls........
So, I read the article and not one word how the pilot gets from airport security to the cockpit in order to be removed from the cockpit, given a breathalyzer and arrested.
Not one word, other than the header claiming his removal.
Richie Cunningham: “All we had was some beer. In teeny, weeny glasses.”
Howard Cunningham: “How many did you have”?
Richie: “72”.
...back when cassette recorders were the thing, I used to record Happy Days and fall asleep to it.
The truth is about 15% of the population abuses alcohol and that includes pilots, politicians and surgeons. In an emergency situation, I’ll take an experienced pilot or surgeon, who have had a few, over a sober incompetent any day. As for drunk politicians, they’re not held to the same standards since they make the rules and they have failed miserably in their jobs.
