Drunk pilot loses certificate

Big John wrote in message . ..

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

Can you direct me to the published results which show this?

In contrast, there are a large number of published studies
which show impairment of some form, even in habituated
individuals who show less apparent effects. When the *same*
individuals were tested on tasks requiring judgement, ability
to divide attention/multitask and so forth, their skills
suffered vs. their skills when measured in the absence of
alcohol (or hangover).

This includes a number of individuals who loudly asserted
that alcohol had no effect on their skills.

This result is so consistant that I'd be very interested to
see a study showing a number of individuals who could pass
"any and all tests of ANY kind" while drinking from wake
up to lights out.

Regards,
Sydney

Apparently this guy was a solid citizen who had never done anything like
this before. Makes you wonder what happened to him.

I believe you meant to type that he was a citizen who never got *caught*
before. Who here can say whether this individual has ever flown under
the
influence prior to this incident?

Or drove...


IMO, I hope he never gets his certificate back.

Agreed!

Hard to say without knowing more. It might be fair then to permanently
revoke driver's licenses for the same offense. Unless, of course, you are
suggesting that pilots get even more regulations without any added
benefits...

Environmentalists cause the most damage.

Yeah, just like flashlights create cockroaches when you point them into dark corners.

Banning DDT has caused more deaths than any dictator. Muslims should be
envious of the success environmentalists have had in killing and causing
suffering.

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.
