Most importantly, whats the guy DOH?

What 12 prior? It's been 8 for years as far as I heard.

...maybe that's his way of being responsible!!! very unfortunate for those involved!

I can't be the only one thinking that this might not be the appropriate thread for such a statement....

It's 8 hours at my ALPA-represented airline.

One less loser lifer 10 year first officer in Salt Lake. No sympathy for this idiot. If you are stupid enough to throw away your entire career and life for a night in South Dakota, then you deserve exactly what happened to him. He is an embarrassment to our community as pilots, just as the others before him.

I wonder what it's like to be perfect? Show some compassion. I hope he can get the help he needs. FYI, the naked pilot from the Harrisburg fiasco is now at Delta. People make mistakes. The trick is learning from them an humbling yourself. It would seem you still haven't learned that lesson

I make tons of mistakes. Showing up drunk to work isn't a mistake, it's a choice.. a choice to put 53 lives in peril because you're selfish.

Oh a new user name tough guy.
You so riiiiiight.

If by perfect you mean reporting for work sober every day of your career, I'd say 99.5% of professional pilots are.

Why should this person be shown any compassion? Should drunk drivers who've killed people behind the wheel be shown compassion?

This guy knew he was tanked when he showed up for work. This is the primary issue.

These types of occurrences give all pilots a bad rap and puts us under even more scrutiny. Compassion? I think not.
