Lyle Prouse should never have been allowed to fly after that flight from FAR!
When he and his crew flew drunk from Fargo to MSP, it was a deliberate 'act'...the entire story 'he' has presented to the world doesn't tell the 'true' story.
But, most pilots on this board and 'pprune' seems to be impressed by his story simply because he was a 747 Captain for NWA.
On a different note: does it really matter if 'United' or 'Delta' or 'American' names are used...it's not that the 'major' airline pilots have 'never' been caught trying to fly drunk. You guys need to read more!
