At SKW HIMS will likely allow him to return to his original seniority, if he completes the program and gets his medical back. Assuming this is even a HIMS case. Certainly no guarantees though. But HIMS works much. much better if you get into it before getting caught. HIMS at other airlines may be different. |

Getting mugged while walking back to the hotel from the grocery store happens to you. Getting drunk, Breaking into a fire chiefs car while naked with a hard on in the middle of the woods doesn't happen to you.

I am certainly not going to judge and I hope this pilot has a positive personal outcome regardless of whether he flies again or not. |

A lot of keyboard warriors on here. I wonder what they all said in their interviews when they got the "captain shows up drunk/what do" question. I stand by he needs to get help, he is only human. Seems a lot of people would rather just ruin someone's life because, well it ain't them. What If you were the one in cuffs. How would you want to be treated and and what kind of help would you want. Real easy to say throw him in jail and watch his life burn away. It's ok to have a beer or even two on a long overnight. Just don't get blackout drunk and stumble back to the comfort inn and make a scene. Don't forgot, hotel staff knows who you are and who you work for. Have a beer and be responsible about it.

Aren't you a holier than thou type. Maybe his captain was checking the weather for the day maybe the captain was talking to their spouse on the phone, perhaps they were still waking up because it was early in the morning. Throwing the stone in a glass house.

You must be part of the ME generation. Only care and look out for yourself. It only takes a little hello and small conversation down in the hotel lobby to notice how fit each other is before heading to the airport.

*** does this have to do with the ME generation? And no, I'm not part of their generation. |

In a word, irresponsible.
Are you saying that a lack of willpower and/or lack of maturity for one not to realize that they have a problem is irresponsible? Well then, i agree. |
My answer, back in the day, was either you call in sick or I will. Sobering moment.
