Just heard from another pilot about a situation recently. A pilot was sent to fly on a plane by Acass and this guy (an older guy) was evidently just out of the hospital or doctor's office and taking pain medicine while flying. Evidently he took too much and had to go into the hospital while out on the road. Was pulled off of the airplane when it was found that he was bleeding internally due to the medications and needed medical attention.
What this guy did is not safe (flying while taking pain meds) and he screwed everyone (rest of the crew, owner and Acass) in the process. Do not know his name but can narrow it down, but thats not for here. Why someone would go out on the road flying while taking pain medications is a good question but in this case its not anyone's fault but his own.
The contract market is very small in these airplanes and most of us know the others or have at least heard their names and know a bit about them. 99% of the guys and gals I would fly anywhere with them but there are a few black sheep that give everyone a black eye for a while from time to time.
