In a previous article, Big John said:
All of the Airline crews are dual pilot so even if one has had a few
drinks the two pilot cockpit has give a real time operational safety
as a dearth of fatal accidents show.

However, there have been numerous cases where impaired pilots had to be
taken off an airliner. The most famous incident was where *both*
Northwest pilots for a flight were drunk.

How many flights have been conducted where one or both of the pilots had been
out partying the night before, and were "considerably less than sharp" for their
flights? If one serious challenge to the flight had happened, would they have
been sharp enough to prevent a crash?
