Passed out in the cockpit @ 3x 0.08. Looks like someone had a shitty Christmas and will have an even worse New Year's Eve.

Isn't the liquor cabinet at the front of the plane?

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

I wonder if he'll be eligible for the ignition interlock program and if the aviation related charges would impact his drivers license.
Not surprising he made it into to the cockpit. Also not surprising he DIDN'T make it to take-off. There's a lot of simple but crucial steps that happen after that point. Hats off to the rest of the crew who prevented the take-off.
Happy new year everyone. Hope you aren't trying to fly a plane later tonight.

the real question is how many times did he previously fly drunk. A pilot doesnt get completely destroyed and pass out before flying unless hes gotten away with it before.

Thanks for the 14 years of LOLs. Govern yourselves accordingly and avoid uppercut reactions!
I see what i did there. Oops.. but im sure we all understood. This guys clearly flown half cut before. I read sunwing has a no booze policy 12 hours before you fly for all crew. This guy passes out in the plane and somehow decides it was better to risk this then call in sick.Originally posted by Seth1968

Hes here on a work visa from slovakia. I bet his excuse will be that hes used to having a bottle of vodka as breakfast in the morning back home.
12 hour bottle to throttle.
He's fucked.
I can speak from personal experience regarding a pilot who I flew with (small-twin engined aircraft) as a flight navigator (not commercial).
He was a drinker and would have a shot of something before bed. In the AM, on occasion, he
would still stink up the shuttle car with the smell of hard booze as he "may have spilt some on his shirt" the night prior.
He was an old (non bold) good pilot and never missed a beat during the briefings and the missions. I had full confidence flying right seat, even though I would question the actions regarding the drinking prior to the flight. However, he obviously knew how to handle his booze.
Having a pilot acting weird prior to, and then passing out in the flight deck is appalling.
Legally its 8 as dictated by Transport Canada, but my airline has a 12 hour rule specific to them, as do the other airlines in Canada.Originally posted by lasimmon

I thought every pilot knew to "balance out" all the drinking with a nice solid snort of cocaine?

Pleads guilty
3 to 6 month sentence proposed??? Are you fucking kidding me? This guy is an embarrassment to my profession and deserves to go to jail for a lot longer than that.
Let's just say he does have a legitimate problem. Alcoholism is actually quite common in many high stress professions, not just aviation. His mistake was not booking off that morning. Get drunk if you want, nobody gives a shit, that's your business. But under no circumstances should he have EVER reported for duty having consumed alcohol within 12 hours of his report time. Never mind a whole bottle in 6 hours.
...
If it's treated like any other DUI, about $15K buys you a 'not guilty' verdict, and punishments are laughably lenient. That all sounds about right to me unless it's drastically different for pilots (which you'd think it ought to be...)Originally posted by Maxx Mazda

Then again I've always been of the opinion that a DUI should carry an attempted murder charge, or some similarly massively life-altering punitive measure (say, $250K fine, mandatory 10 year sentence, etc.) so I take a much harsher stance on it all to begin with.

HEs not charged with a DUI though. He's charged with having care and control of an aircraft while impaired which is a VERY serious federal offence.
