[QUOTE=prex8390;2232257]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 told the interview panel everything they wanted to hear in order to get the job.
Worked like a charm.

And I believe they said an airport official called the police, so probably TSA.

Ohhh, the humanity!! Not another Tub Stacking Administration warrior.
Had one of these mouth breathers get in every crew members' face while going through security in hopes of becoming a hero.
Heroic ambition quickly turned into utter embarrassment when I offered him some mints.
Crawl back into your hole.
Not saying that the pilot shouldn't have been caught, just not by a tub stacker who isn't allowed to wear a football helmet with earmuffs while at "work" because it isn't part of their uniform.

the public is outraged to find out that such a prestigious company like Delta airlines would ever employ such an irresponsible individual as a pilot. Oh wait

I've worked at 3 ALPA carriers and 2 non-ALPA. The non-ALPA carriers were 12 hours and the ALPA carriers were 8.

Worked at a Teamster airline and at an ALPA carrier now. Both were 12.

A union has just as much to do with drinking restrctions as it does with the format of dispatch releases or the color of your uniform...in other words, it's complete irrelevant.

You've worked at 5 companies. What section of the contract is alcohol consumption addressed?

Compass -- an ALPA carrier -- has a 12-hour rule.

This is correct.

What a union does have a great deal to do with is what happens if you do something wrong, or are accused of doing something wrong. That is why most people do not mind paying union dues. It is simply insurance.

The union is also responsible for things like KCM, HIMS, and all of the legislation that the non-union members still get the benefit of but did not have to pay for.

What does the collective bargaining agent for an airline have to do with their alcohol policy? ALPA, SWAPA, APA, Teamsters, et al have zero say in what the company develops in their FAA accepted FOM about alcohol consumption.

Four ALPA carriers and 2 were 12, 2 were 8. So what? I've never seen it in the PWA.
