That's not a small difference. I'm no lawyer, but that could mean the difference between just losing one's license and going to real jail.

At least the mugshot didn't have a pilot shirt in it (t shirt, I think).

What a tragedy for the pilot and his family.
I read he was pulled off a fully boarded flight. That would imply he was on the plane at some point, although I’d assume his arrest actually took place off the plane.
