Then why not be a REAL friend and try to get them help?

Pile on guys! One of our brothers may have made a mistake!

I agree. Whats even sadder is the fact that theres help and almost nobody knows about it.

HIMS - A Substance Abuse Treatment Program For Commercial Pilots

Some folks are just predisposed to this sort of stuff. Vocation is really irrelevant. Sad indeed that this guy threw away a great career; I hope he gets the help he needs.

Thank You! Sometimes you guys on these boards amaze me.

How did the news find out that he is an FFDO?? Isn't that SSI?? The identities of FFDO's shouldn't be disclosed. Did the TSA manager that smelled his breath (probabaly while checking him in through the LEO line) disclose this information??

Are you being Sarcastic?

And if you cant find the pilot with an alcohol problem...guess who it is....

Same old story. Different day... different crewmember... different airline. Oh well.

Somethings never change... do they.

Umm, my guess is "yes".

Sorry to see this guy's mistake plastered all over the press/internet.
