Oh no, just when I saw the title of the thread. Yves is not a suitable alias for anyone.

NC probably isn't a jizz run I imagine. TFaudree_ERAU probably knows - he carried a lot of human fluids for them.

That run is (or was, way back in the mists of time), a check run. Although I've heard the same thing about TFaudree_ERAU and his fluid-carrying. What?

So his lawyer told the media he got plastered before his flight. Some lawyer.

Where did you get that from? the linked article? because there is nothing in the article that said his attorney spoke to the media. The article referred to "court records" probably part of plea deal. I'll say right now if he does any better than 10 serve 5 he's one hell of a lawyer.

"Bay News 9's coverage partner, the Tampa Bay Times, says Lavoie's attorney said the pilot drank before leaving Tampa, flew to North Carolina, dropped off cargo, refueled and headed back to Tampa."
It's in the article linked on the first page, about half way down. This is before any court records are mentioned and they are in reference to the FAA inspector meeting the plane after it landed and then mentions that the records state that he voluntarily submitted to field sobriety and blood alcohol tests.
Further in this article: http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/feds-say-cargo-pilot-headed-to-tampa-was-drunk/2125100
"His attorney, Summer Goldman of St. Petersburg, said he drank before leaving Tampa, landed in Greensboro, dropped off the cargo, refueled and returned to the air — completing two takeoffs, two landings.
"He truly has an alcohol problem, had one, and he's taking the steps to correct that," Goldman said, noting that he entered a residential treatment program."
Attorney Goldman said Lavoie had been flying since age 15.
On the ground, his driving record shows he was cited for having an open container in Sarasota County in 2005 and with careless driving in 2003. In both cases, adjudication was withheld, the records show.
He has no regular DUI arrests and no criminal record at all in Florida.
"Just get a misdemeanor DUI," his attorney groused, "not a second-degree felony punishable by 15 years."

Still trying to reach the Top Shelf
There's always this tried but true defense; "Well I'm an alcoholic so I can handle alcohol better then a person who seldom drinks". A .27 is nothing to me......
.27 AFTER 5 hours? You gotta respect this guys liver because it is clearly picking up the slack for the other organs (like the brain, for example).

Tell you what, you freight dogs make airline pilots look like female parts. We generally get .10 or below.
