Clifton ended up blowing a .174%, more than four times the legal limit for pilots.

A job worth doing, is worth doing well.

Dude’s been drinking at that level for awhile. That’s a healthy (not) alcohol resistance.

“TSA agents suspected something was off about Clifton when he was checking his gun through security just minutes earlier.

Clifton ended up blowing a .174%, more than four times the legal limit for pilots.”

Drunk pilot with a gun.

TSA agents finally find a threat to US air travel - and he’s from Buffalo.

What happened to no smoking 24 hours before a flight or drinking within 50 feet of the plane?

“ten 22-ounce beers”

1. Wow, who knew that JetBlue was hiring pilots at frat parties?
2. Dude has an amazing bladder to handle all that. I’d be peeing on the hour all night if I drank half that.

If we’re talking about putting tests in cars, why not planes first?

We gave him a breathalyzer and we know how he did with that — he did not do well,” said Helen Tederous, director of public affairs, NFTA.

Depends how you're evaluating the results. Sounds like he got the high score.

I thought the same. Dude blew .17 after he slept a few hours. I don't know how drunk he was when he quit drinking, but wow.

Amazed he got any sleep, I’d be up draining the bladder all night long.

I’m sure that must have been a click and paste error from the article. Right?
