FAA records show pilots fly drunk, engage in criminal activity

April 26, 2016

"According to FAA data, there is no leveling off or decrease in this trend, in fact drug use seems to be climbing," said Peter Bartos, a retired military pilot with an FAA Airline Transport Pilot license, who reviewed the FAA data for FoxNews.com. “The general public probably has no idea that this abuse is occurring with such regularity at certain airlines.

All commercial airline pilots should take a test for alcohol and drug use before every flight, Bartos said.

"One might surmise that all pilots from the problem airlines should blow into a breathalyzer/drug tester before every flight until this trend stops,” he said.

The "problem airlines" would be those who turned him down when he applied. Mostly likely all the legacies, cargo, major airlines, and etc.

Why should anyone listen to Peter Bartos? Why did CNN pay him for his opinion? This article reads like the ones that were fed to the press in the 80's, right at pilot contract negotiation time.

Enjoying that fabricated click-bait?
Keep tuning in. Your daily shock, amazement and disdain depends on it.

Credentials says it all. ATP? On what? Retired military makes him an expert?

Way to go Fox... further unexcellence in nonjournalism.
