Delta pilot caught boozing the preflight

I never busted the time limit. But did once or twice chug the rest of a drink with 10 seconds to go.

We called that 'panic drinking'. ;)
 
I don't know about before the flight, but I had a few instructors hit the bottle right after our flight...

I beseech every deity there is to NEVER allow caffeine to be a banned, heck controlled, substance! It’s literally my only vice. If you measured it on the same scale as alcohol, yes I realize it isn’t, .24 would be just hitting functional for me. I have a coffee pot next to the bed timed to be ready when the alarm goes off, drink half a pot before clearing the door, hit the first coffee spot on the way to work, and of course have ready access to it all day.

At least I can say other than occasionally frustrating me a bit with touch screens in the plane, it hasn’t been an issue. Don’t have to worry about falling asleep in flight either! Not giving Drunky McPilot a pass. Anyone who would do that is a huge bag of suck!

If they ever ban coffee, I’m getting a clapped-out DC-3 and making trips south. I’ll be the Han fricking Solo of coffee smugglers.
