You
flew with them? You should have convinced them to call in sick and report themselves to HIMS.......if you really thought they were impaired.

Apparently He did!
If I was his attorney, I would say that the pilot in question was reporting in uniform after calling in sick to request help from the HIMS program formally. He removed his uniform after the passenger confronted him only for the purpose of avoiding any more unnecessary poor publicity for SWA. His intention was to continue to report himself to HIMS when he got interdicted by the local constabulary.
Remember folks.....we have this as an awesome resource (HIMS). While the above example is tongue in cheek to a certain extent. If you know of someone with a problem, you ought to do what you can to get him or her to partake. You may lose a friendship, but you will most likely save lives, careers, marriages, and family relationships.
