You guys come across as rather "high and mighty". You do not know what exactly happened to him, so do not judge, I take it all of you have never had a beer or two and then gotten in your car...

Am I against drunk driving, "yes", would I recommend getting a cab, "yes". However people of "ALL" walks make mistakes in life. Please realize there are many things we as humans can screw up on, how we handle it and or how we judge the situation "defines" who we are.

I hope he learns from his mistakes, however I do not wish someone's career down the drain. If he repeats this mistake then he needs help, and I hope he gets it. These are why there are programs set up at our respective airlines.

As a pilot how works with the HIMS program at my airline, I have seen many different cases.

We "ALL " can fall in life, how about offering a hand of help, rather than a "spit" in your face mentality.

P.S. I do not have a DUI, I am not doing this becuase of my past, it was the way I was raised. Pilots helping Pilots.
