I will tell everyone who is buying an airline ticket to read these posts and to be aware that their pilot might have taken an ambien. I am in shock that pilots are so irresponsible knowing the side effects of the dangerous drug.
If you think thats scary you should love the fact that lots of us are routinely flying on 3 hours of sleep due to scheduling loopholes
I wouldent let my family fly in the back of my plane when im that unslept, but that 60 dollar ticket your buying to fort lauderdale should make up for it.
