Don't show up to work drunk!
It's really not that hard. If you do you deserve to be fired.

Can't really argue with the facts on this one. The test showed that he was over the legal limit. Im sure during indoc they tell every pilot that there is a ZERO tolerance policy for this type of thing. It's too bad he didn't have better judgement...a waste of a career. Everyone knows pilots like to drink; thats nothing new. But when you are resposible for hundreds of lives at a time, exceptions cannot be made.

I hope another crew member wasn't the whistle-blower. Someone should have informed the F/O, who should have known how to handle this. Not defending his(Ca's) actions, but of my 3 airlines, the one where the pilots & f/A's actually liked and respected each other was the most enjoyable.
Still romantic about being an Airline Pilot. Preferring the ALPA kool-aid not the Company's.

And before you flame. No I am not a scab and wouldn't scab. I just don't go around seeing good in anything that makes us all look bad.

I agree. It blows my mind that after all you have to go through to land a pilot job you would screw it up by drinking. It's like people that cheat on their spouses. A night of fun to potentially ruin your entire life. Dumb dumb dumb.
