Don't drink & fly + handling skills eroded

It might be time for some serious discussion in a light hearted manner.
Would you give this guy a job. He does fly for Delta and seems to have kept his handling skills in perfect shape.

I was always taught that it was a bad idea to drink and fly: you might spill it.

Remember seeing something similar at an airshow when I was a young kid and was scared until my father explained that it was all part of the show.

Still great flying. :-)

Drinking

DELTA or Don't Ever Land There Again. Was he the pilot who landed on the taxiway? Brilliant display of handling skills though.

On U-tube I've seen some similar antics in Airbuses (Hamburg?) and a few at the old Hong Kong rwy in some BIG cubs. There is a time and place for everything, and using the correct equipment. Glad you enjoyed it.
