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!
Actually most of us are impressed by his determination and drive to get back on the horse after he made life changes and paid his debt to society.
He just as easily could have been released from prison, picked up the bottle again and gotten lost in oblivion...
But then again I suppose that you're a perfect pilot and never made any mistakes in your life.
