Easy 130+ posts. AirTran 2 posts! But, I digress.

One thing's for sure it may still be relatively rare but it seems to be happening more often. Can't be doing the industry any good. Why oh why do pilots still risk drinking, even when it's only moderately, up to eight hours prior to starting their duty. I reckon a good 24 hours buffer is needed these days (and even that's only as long as the drinking isn't extreme). Don't risk it guys and gals, your career is on the line.
