Well, it seems as if we are beating this one to death....
However, all of the excuses I read from his fellow AA Pilot KC135777 are in my opinion just that...excuses....
Drinking whisky in one's sleep??? Get real...great defence for your FAA Certificate, but if you have that kind of problem, it seems to me that Oklahoma City (The US Medical Folks) should take a closer look at this guy....
Anyone with any long haul airline experience knows that "tomorrow's show time" is paramount....
Calling in "sick" for something you "ate" last night is one thing...
"Saying" you intended to call in sick (if you got caught, perhaps?) after the fact indicates that this is probably not the first time this pilot has been to this rodeo...
And by the way KC...why do you keep "shouting"?
