Both were terrific reads.
I read Joe Balzers book. I believe he was th FE. Either way, should be required reading in my opinion. It will make you think twice if you want that next drink. Best option, IMHO, if you think you may have overdone the drinking, call in sick. Hay beer *******s is reason enough! Sure you may end up screwing over your passengers, but maybe next time you will be smarter. And of course we wont need to keep having our names and compaies in the news.
Carry on
