Well forgive me for wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt when the only source most of us have is one wildly inaccurate local media story. Christ, I hope I never put my tie on wrong or forget to tie my shoe and it gets picked up by the local media and reported that I'm drunk

I can hear it now from the experts, "Well his shoe WAS untied. Pilots have procedures to follow if something like that happens. This individual was clearly drunk or distraught...either way, shouldn't be in an airplane and will have lots of explaining to do"
Use a little common sense... First off the FAA is investigating!!!!!
Second:
They were flying from island to island. They were in cruise flight and OVER FLEW their destination... You to think they missed a hand off?
