Exactly. Funny, because when I googled "pilot arrested for drinking in MSP," a story did come up about a pilot arrested with a .05 this morning in MSP, but it wasn't a SWA pilot. Oh, I think I get it...the OP might be trying to make a funny by taking certain liberties in describing the pilot's employer due to the fact that SWA is the new owner of the airline in question. Nice one.

Here is a LINK: It was a AIRTRAN pilot....SWA owns Airtran but not acutally a SWA PILOT.

Instead of providing pilots with IPads, airlines should provide breath analyzer's.

Sadly, I think every pilot knows another pilot with an alcohol problem.
