I guess you did not read the article nor the plea deal?

As part of a plea deal, Arntson admitted that for much of his tenure as an airline captain he was an alcoholic, which, according to a court filing, led him to "pilot passenger airline flights while under the influence of alcohol."

Arntson's attorneys in their own sentencing brief indicated that their client's excessive drinking over the years had rotted his liver and left him with cirrhosis. As a result, the attorneys wrote, Arntson could not physically process alcohol the way his body used to, and didn't feel impaired while flying.

Yet another very interesting legal defense, like the other 2 pilots, we are alcoholics, so we have a higher tolerance.....no problemo.
