Arm the Drunk Pilots
« on: August 10, 2003, 08:10:33 AM »
With Uzi's


"Police said breath tests revealed the two pilots had blood-alcohol levels above 0.08 percent."

A spokesman for Cloyd's family, Steve Hicks said, "We're saddened by the occurrences and the allegations made against them."

LOL!

They should have shot it out with the coppers, the allegations were so sad.

Listen up Americans. Homeland Security = Insanity.

probly there should be a law that says pilots can't fly drunk.   At least we don't have to worry about drunk cops or soldiers or fbi, batf etc. going around with guns.

the airports are so depressing and inconvienient that I will do anything rather than fly these days.

There was an Amtrak accident a few years ago on the northeast corridor.  Engineer was drunk.

There was a oil tanker, exxon valdez, where the captain was drunk.

Happy travelling....

well, if being drunk makes them more aggressive and they shoot the terrorists full of holes, I say arm them.
anyways, jets nowdays fly themselves, no need for pilots to be sober:D

He was in his cabin sleeping one off.  He is still in charge.

FAA regs prohibited flying with alcohol in their systems LONG before 9/11 was even thought of. Of course that little bit of truth will likely spoil the mindless rant that started this thread. oh well. :rolleyes:

No sh*t Sherlock? I bet you were a detective, not a traffic cop.

Wait. Actually they aren’t prohibited from flying with alcohol in their systems, it’s how much, but I’m not going to explain the truth to you in detail.

Don’t worry, I don’t think you spoiled anything other than having to explain the post to you. The homeland overreaction act arming pilots is easy to goof on when pilots keep making the news for trying to fly drunk. It has nothing to do with regs by the FAA telling them they can’t fly plastered pre- or post-9/11, geez. It's them ignoring them, drinking, and soon they will be armed.  Dry humor but whoopee how could you miss it so completely?

Martlet- The Homeland Security Act of 2002 is what address deputizing pilots and giving them guns, that’s what.

Did they somehow miss the ATP rated first officer in the right seat staring out the window while the 3 autopilots dutifully steered their airplane on a GPS-Direct route to some far off fix?

Nope, they caught that, too.  It didn't keep the guy from losing his job and his license, though.
