Plenty of passengers and airline personnel have reported, successfully, drunk pilots.

You are wrong. Since 1990, less than a dozen airline pilots have been charged with having alcohol in their system while on duty. None of those were reported by passengers. It was usually other crewmembers, and in a couple of instances it was airport security that reported it. Google it.

The system works. We don't need your help, but thanks so much for caring.

Tzfat...I loved your wonderful comments...how did we know there was another side to this story?

I found this comment today written by a guy who was ON THE FLIGHT!

For those of you who believed her story...what do you think of this? It’s no wonder she got a lawyer...she might need one. How sad that all the people who read her side of the story might never see this...

“I was actually on that flight and got home 4 hours later than I was supposed to thanks to this woman. She made a very serious & false accusation that cost the airline and their passengers a lot of time and money. AND she conveniently forgot to mention that she was drunk herself and admitted to officials it was all just a “joke” - her words. An actual “joke”?! She was kicked off not because she made a false accusation, but because she admitted it was just a joke.”
