This was actually the top story on abc's world news tonight. Somewhat ironic watching Sawyer drunk on election night now talking about this allegedly drunk pilot and then they went on to show several other cases of recent drunk pilots. Apparently 10-12 per year is the norm in the US.. The public really eats this up, it is so unfortunate that all the good we do is instantly overshadowed by someone showing up and blowing .06

For this CA & his family's sake, I sure as hell hope it was some type of breath wash to just gargle.

"Hogan said he hadn't received any specific measurement for the pilot's blood alcohol level but said the breath test put him well above the legal limit, which in Minnesota is 0.04 percent."

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure the mouthwash defense isn't going to cut it.

Just saw on the news they had a big correlation between the movie flight and this story. What a joke. If I were him I think he might have some argument base on how he wasn't even at the airplane, And also no way to prove he had no intention of calling in sick.

Except they yanked him out of the cockpit while he was doing the preflight checklist.
