And one more thing. I own a 310 that flys for a living. If one of the guys who flys that thing for me shows up with even a hint of a hangover, he's gonna be one dead puppy.

There isn't ANY excuse for showing up with even a 0.03 blood alcohol limit, much less 0.091 like the two clowns in Miami, and I don't give a damn how bad a CEO Bill Franke was. There just isn't any excuse!

My comment to Marine Inspector stands: there are 1000 guys waiting in line for that job, and you know it. Those pilots have a good living - even though we all know HP has some of the worst management - but it's still a good job. They sure as hell have no excuse making life hard for their fellow pilots at HP who will now have to bear the brunt of the jokes and sneering like the idiots at Northwest brought on their peers.

You are absolutely correct. These days most airline pilots are so paranoid of being FALSELY accused by a disgruntled fellow crewmember that they will not drink at all during any length of a layover. The somewhat mythical days of the hard-living, hard-drinking airline pilot have been gone for quite a while. But then idiots like these HP guys crop up and we all wonder what they were thinking...

They will fry.

You mean - like - "How Many Northwest Pilots Does It Take to Fly a Plane" ??

. . . ans . . . . Two and a Fifth !! !!
