BBC News - No jail for US pilot caught in plane over alcohol limit
The court was told the highly experienced pilot, a married father of three, was over the legal alcohol limit as a result of a "miscalculation".
I love the way the defence claim miscalculation - hope he doesn't make these kind of miscalculations with his fuel figures, his runway lengths, V speeds, his flare etc etc...
This was such a lame excuse and the judge should of really highlighted this point, beacuse a large part of a pilot's work is good calculations.
I'm also surprised he has not been sacked from UAL - however, I am a believer in helping people who stumble and second chances. But there is also a case for making an example of someone who breaks the rules??
