UAL Pilots Sentenced to Jail Time in Glasgow

[Springer]

Shaking my head; can't believe guys are still getting in trouble on layovers. If there is the slightest doubt you can't pass a breath test call in sick.

Now that I'm in my mid 30s my hangovers would guarantee that I'm not getting out of bed, let alone going to work, if I got to that state.

I have questions... so as First Officer, I have a co-pilot?

Don't mess around with the booze clock in Yurop... they will get you over there.

Quite often actually! Sometimes two.

Best I've seen is a .425 BAC, and the person was somehow still alive, and driving. Arrested for DUI, of course.

But then you're stuck with them at the hospital, because the jail won't take them when they're extreme DUI like that.

The person never did go to trial.

Jesus...something that high has to be the result of YEARS of high density training.

He could have just grown up in Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Michigan. Those people are professionals.

Now that I'm in my 30's I know when to stop so I don't get hangovers.

Not to downplay what happened, but 10 and 15 months seems pretty harsh. These guys would do better getting treatment somewhere, not rotting in a Scottish prison for a year.

A person is drunk in Scotland? And this is somehow news?

Frankly it's more newsworthy if a pilot "doesn't" get drunk in Scotland on layover.

Water is wet....sumthin sumthin

Mine are pretty random. Some nights I earn the hangover, sometimes all it takes is two and the next day sucks.

Drink copious amounts of water. While drinking and also afterwards. Problem solved.

There are times where I will have maybe one beer or small glass of wine and get a hangover. This adulting thing aint no joke.

I've seen you hungover.

Agreed. If I drink 2-3 beers... I end up with a headache in an hour or two. It doesn't even wait until the next morning for me.

2-3 ? Hell, one or maybe even half a beer might do it for me. Thats after the acid reflux I seem to get from beer these days. Seriously FML.
