The irony...Guy gets busted for being allegedly drunk while operating a plane with "AA" on the tail.....

Um... yeah...

The new livery doesn't have "AA" on the tail and there is a good chance the airplane still said US Airways on the side. (can't look it up right now.)

190 is not mainline. 190 pilots should apply. We are hiring.

Did you chew me out on a hotel van once for flying a regional jet for $8/hour* too? :)

* where $8 actually = $27.07, but I won't defend first year pay either

Please please please tell me this is made up. That's too good of a story to be true.

Could be worse, I suppose. I was flying with a guy who openly admitted to doing favors for the company. I reminded him, gently, that there were close 1,000 pilots on furlough (at the time). He came right out and said "I don't care about any of that".

My FA last night asked me when I was going to fly mainline. That's not baller to me.

In light of this being a common interview question, did the rest of the crew get in trouble for NOT reporting him, calling the CP, calling pro-standards, refusing to fly or making him call out sick? They did pull him out of the cockpit, right? So the captain and flight attendants must have talked to him or smelled alcohol and done nothing? The picture of him in handcuffs was from a pax on the flight he was about to operate IIRC.

Just curious

My view knowing nothing about the case:

People with alcoholism are very good at hiding their disease from others.

Hook is right, crews don't seem to have any idea when someone is intoxicated because alcoholics are so good at hiding their disease.
