We nearly threw him off, but when he was told he would be out the door if he didn't shut the fark up, he finally did. Later the Purser came up front and said she had him on the way over to NRT a week earlier, same guy, was drunk when he got on, they had to shut him off before takeoff!
Hey, if you are going to be a douche, don't be saying, "But I'm a Fed Ex Captain..." too!
Gotta love people who think just because they work in the industry they get a pass on behaving properly and following the rules/regs everyone else has to follow. I have no use for those among us in every walk of life who subscribe to the "do as I say, not as I do" mentality. Unfortunately, it happens more often than it should. I guess they like embarrassing themselves in public.
