Not so much if you’re a 21yo frat boy.

Alcoholics are not normal people when it comes to consumption. And jet blue has some explaining to do, no way this was a one time thing.

Geez, how many times do you think he had to go pee during the flight?

Over the years I’ve seen several articles where pilots were found to be drunk before the flight, so I assume many of them weren’t caught and flew drunk.

I’ve never read about a plane crash because the pilot was drunk, have you?

I remember seeing the remains of a Mooney MK20 that resulted from some guys bringing in a well and decided to get lit and go fly. I don’t think the guy that picked it up covered his fuel from the parts.

Good editors are hard to find.
Once upon a time, a simple Secretary would have been fired for that.

Good thing.

Passenger jets aren’t designed to accommodate drunk pilots or inverted flight.

At least that’s what William “Whip” Whitaker says.

told someone over the phone that he drank ten 22-ounce beers, also known as “Tall Boys.”

Should have said ‘Tall Girls”.

Drinking ten 22-oz cans of beer is quite a feat, if that is actually how much he drank. That's practically a case of beer and a LOT of trips to the bathroom.

Even with that prodigious amount, registering .174 on a breathalyzer the next day doesn't make sense. Unless his last drink was much more recent then he let on.

Sounds like one of those guys who has a beer for breakfast - and one more for dessert.

““There was some questions and some suspicion. That’s when we became involved — when the TSA officers called our officers and that’s when we got involved. 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.”

I used to wonder how the government found these geniuses to work for them, didn’t you? Not anymore.

Clifton ended up blowing a .174%
