Jay Dubya,
I am not sure if this post is a gag but I will answer it as if you are
serious. Dont believe the junk you read on these websites. Under the
current laws this is not possible.

Beer goggles. When they're drunk, the pilots think the 747s look like
Learjets!

And they think A380's look like Claudia Schiffer

That's a stretch. Even with a huge snootful, I'd say the best you can
get from an A380 is Rosie O'Donnell.

Yeah, it's really pretty unappealing from every angle, isn't it?

So are they commercial pilots, or commercial pilots who fly 747s? And how
many such pilots are there in total, for purposes of comparison?

It is a bit odd that the FAA has such strict medicals but still allows pilots
to take recreational drugs on a regular basis.
