How would that look on a pilot's record?


Watch American Justice at it's finest. The Law applies to the majority of us, unless you happen to be in the top 1%. The Elite live under a different set of rules. Most laws do not apply to them..............Ted Kennedy, Robert Blake, OJ and Hallie Berry and a long list of NFL, NBA pro atheletes all come to mind. These folks should have all done jail time but didn't.

Parker won't do any jail time, like you and I would if we did the same thing.
(3rd offense)
He is a CEO of a Billion dollar corp based in PHX (Tempe Actually). Do you really think he will spend 1 day in jail or lose his license? (even though he can afford a personal Chauffer? The judges are all be taken care of. That is how it is when you are in the top 1% Club.

That is a good point...with all the money they take from us couldn't he afford a limo...or at least a taxi!! :)

My understanding is that he was returning from a golf tournament. Two other people were in the car. The rumor is one of them was the VP who was really hammered, Doug must have been the most sober.
