No one wakes up one morning and decides they’re going to be an alcoholic. Pilots aren’t immune to the same diseases as the rest of the population.

I hope there is still time for rehab and reconciliation for this pilot who I know is a good and decent man. It appears he is struggling and in the fight for his life.

Nothing in aviation is more sacred than the public trust and I am thankful that the system worked and the brake was never released. I hope the rest of the system becomes available to him now.
