With your vast experience could you please point be to one, single online
discussion forum where your opinion is welcome and accepted as having any
merit what so ever?

Many participants do not express an opinion. One should not assume that those
who yell the loudest are necessarily speaking for the silent majority.

A newspaper reporter discovered that 41 commercial airline pilots in
Minnesota have had their car drivers' licenses revoked due to drunken
driving, yet they are still flying jumbo jets. - from the
Transportation section of www.odd-info.com



What does a car drivers license have to do with flying a jet
transport?

Operating both types of vehicles represent an activity that is seriously
impaired by the use of recreational drugs such as alcohol. And people who are
willing to drive drunk are generally willing to fly drunk as well.

Your an idiot.

You must have some experience with a drinking problem?

I can rinse my mouth out with a mouth wash that contains alcohol and I
then cannot pass the 'breathalizer' test.

If I don't fly (legally) drunk (test does not evaluate your ability to
make correct decisions and act accordingly) what is it of interest
what I do on my time off if I meet the 12 hours from bottle to stick.

You need personal experience (with the use of alcohol which I have) to
comment on the stupid original posting.
