I've been an airline pilot for 29 years. Attitudes like yours would bring passenger service to a screeching halt.

As this women discovered, we take accusations like hers very seriously. I know of no airline pilot that would continue the trip if accused of having alcohol on his breath. Open your smart mouth, and you won't be proceding to your destination.

Airline pilots are the most closely regulated profession in the U.S. We are randomly checked for alchohol and drugs, as well as checked every 6 months. Unlike the medical profession, we also do a remarkable job of self-policing with professional standards units at every major airline.

“Open your smart mouth, and you won’t be proceding to your destination.”

My attitude is that of safety. It is sad that as an airline pilot you believe safety is of no concern and worthy of tossing a passenger off a flight. As that passenger with a legitimate concern that got tossed, I can guarantee you your flight will not leave the ground and you will not be behind the controls until you pass a wizzquizz. Guranteed.

Your smart mouth would end up costing you your career.

As far as pilots not being drunks, get real. They drink like fish.

“s this women discovered, we take accusations like hers very seriously.”

BS. You take it seriously because you don’t want to lose the license, not because of safety. If safety were the issue her legitimate concerns would have been addressed in a professional, not a juvenile, manner.
