When you drink and fly ...

I don't think it was discussed here. The ATC com is eerie, the controller quickly detected that something was amiss.

I’d drink myself stupid too if I was escaping Pasco only to end up in Vegas.

The engines look alright.

Holy •! Dude had a .288 BAC and managed to get the plane on the ground and not die in the fire? I'm not even mad, I'm impressed.

.288 BAC 2 hours afterwards...

.288 BAC 2 hours afterwards...

I thought I read he said he tossed back a bottle of vodka after he realized he'd survived and that's why he was drunk, this is a person that really needs help. Who's going to raid the liqour cabinet on the way out of a burning airplane?

 

[Lawman]

The fact he could even sit upright in a plane, much less operate it is impressive on its own.

That recorded BAC is solidly into Alcohol Poisoning territory.

Either that or they did a field test and not a blood test with a piece of equipment well outside of certified.

This is a 41 year old?!

And he claimed to have 17,000 hours? Whaaaat

 

[Fixtur]

I'm 42. That guy could be my dad.

Rode hard and put away wet.

Yeah I'm 41 and I had to look in the mirror for a second.

I'm sure he was hoping he could use that as a way to explain his crazy BAC. It doesn't explain his odd interactions with ATC or his crash landing. Dude deserves whatever jail time he got/gets. I hope it dries him out and he kicks his alcoholism, but I'm not holding my breath.

I’m curious on others opinion on this. When that controller in LAS was drunk and I expressed a similar opinion, I was lambasted with how she needs help not jail etc. nevermind that she had just finished a mandatory alcohol rehab program.

I think the deal pilots get should apply across the board. To wit, you have a problem, you bring yourself in, admit it, you get treatment and keep your job. We gotta CATCH you and no soup for you.

Guy is 41, looks 61, and writes like he's 11.

Nah, no real sympathy here. Should never fly again.

 

[dustoff17]

I think that was a “typo”; his ABC was .288. His is clearly an alcohol blood content.

P.S. Years ago, I ran across a guy that had a .37 BAC. It was his 5th DUI/DWI! He had already spent 3 years in as a “habitual violator”. Had 7 open bottles of hard liquor in his truck. The guy held his own, except for the slurred speech…..you wouldn’t know from a distance.

Was it confirmed she was drunk? I thought she had a stroke...the audio sure sounds like it.

I'm not defending the guy, he deserves what's coming to him. I was just pointing out his odd explanation as not believable, if I woke up in a burning airplane I'd just crashed I would've been doing everything I could to get out and my exit would not include a visit to galley. Maybe he stopped to pee in the lav before he got out too.

def wasn’t a stroke. There is at least one person on here who knows her.

 

[Inverted]

The initial reports I believe, were that she had a stroke. It was corrected later.

Did she end up being allowed back?
