Yes it is true.

Did it in the lav during flight and came back up front and passed out.

I heard he was a regional airline captain and did it twice before he was hired by CAL. Now he just has to do a drug test at the start of each trip.

 

That guy HAS to be a scab.

 

Then it wasn't cocaine

 

Max,

When were you at mesa exactly? Summer 2004?


As far as airline employment, my best guess is that you are not employable at this time. Just a guess, since I don't know all the details...

- A logbook discrepency that resulted in REVOKED tickets (as opposed to a 30 day suspension) seems like it must have been pretty serious, blatant, and deliberate. Deliberate is the key word here...airlines are a lot more forgiving of accidental violations.

- Having lost your logbooks only makes things more difficult...while the 8710 times are legally viable, airline greatly prefer to see original logbooks.

You best bet is probably going to be to get some kind of flying job (91, 135 whatever) and then start applying to regionals. Afer you have a few years behind you and some recent flight time in your new logbook you might have a better chance.

 

I think he was XJet...an XJet ALPA guy told me about him.

 

HAHA, how true that is!

If he was blowing coke in the bathroom, a nap would have been the last thing on his mind after gettin back up front!

There are many guys who've gotten their life in order, and returned to the cockpit. Many airlines will even give them their seniority back, if they were terminated. Capt. Lyle Prouse (NWA, ret.) is the most famous.

I'm an ALPA HIMS volunteer, and have helped many guys from many different airlines who've been revoked. I hope you can get back to work someday. If you need help with recertification, PM me.

 

i was riding jumpseat with some american guys, a few months ago, who were telling me how american got its first meth addict. Apparently he called the union from the back seat of the cop car after he was arrested in a large drug bust.

 

The Xjet guy then went to CAL, I know someone who flew with him, and the guy fessed up to the whole story...... bla bla bla, anyways I forget the whole story but somehow with the union he went to CAL, bc he was fired by Xjet not CAL, I forget the story, I can find out tho

 

His name is Tyrone Biggums...
