Drunk pilot loses certificate
According to AVweb, John V. Salamone was the drunk pilot who flew through
controlled airspace near Philadelphia on Jan. 15. The FAA alleged that the pilot endangered the lives of others and forced diversions of several airliners. His breathalyzer was .13 alcohol level. The FAA has revoked his certificate. Apparently this guy was a solid citizen who had never done anything like this before. Makes you wonder what happened to him. -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA If you go around beating the Bush, don't complain if you rile the animals.

Hmm. No wonder I don't watch the news. Either this guy was a solid, stand-up
citizen who has made one mistake in his life OR he is a drunk, has been a drunk, always will be a drunk. I'm guessing that I don't really know who he is or what really happened. I'm also guessing that I never really will. I just hope that the FAA treats him fairly, that he resolves whatever personal or physical issues he may have, and that, someday, he gets to fly again. But that's just my opinion! -- ------------------------------- Travis "Peter R." wrote in message ...

Tom
Hate to drop a brick on your foot, especially if you have it in your mouth for being so equivocal. I've see a number of individuals who drank from wake up to the time their eyes closed for sleep at night. They were able to pass any and all tests of ANY kind (memory, verbal, body activity, etc) given to them other than a breathalizer (sp) which only measures a approximation of alcohol in the body, not any impairment. The powers that be, assume impairment with an arbitrary level measured. How do you know this individual was not one whose body assimilated alcohol in a manner that did not effect normal activities by any measure (test)? Were the results of any impairment tests published? One last shot over the bow. How many stone cold sober individuals have flown through controlled airspace (the alleged activity)? Were their ticket revoked?
