Southwest has pilots who evidently can relate to a lot of their passengers. LOL

No kidding. I was on one flight and a guy was loud and obnoxious so the flight attendants kept giving him more drinks, amazing.

Over tiredness is probably a bigger problem.

Its hard to make good decisions in a dynamic environment when exhausted.

Yikes. I fly out of Savannah Hilton Head airport. Nice airport. Easy in and out. Not too busy.

Go to an AA meeting and you’d be amazed at how many doctors, dentist, lawyers etc. are there. Imagine how many are practicing while using.

Another reason driving later in the day becomes increasingly dangerous.

This is not as rare as you may think.

I know Delta has a long term program to identify pilots with problems and help them recover.

If this has to do with an off duty pullover, the police should be sued for arresting him at work. To me, this reeks of “I’LL SHOW YOU’se”
