Wake up

Of course we dont want our family being operated on by drunk surgeons.

But, what about fatigue? I can tell you that fatigued pilots are a much bigger problem than intoxicated pilots. I am not excusing the actions in question, but it seems to me that the public(news services) focuses on the wrong issues. I have yet to see alcohol being a contributing factor in an accident. Fatigue has already been mentioned as a contributing factor in accidents.

I am glad this pilot got stopped, but I am worried about the tired pilot on the flight deck. And that is an everyday occurence.
