DUI? Try FUI...


As a Travel Editor, guess how much I like to read about drunk pilots? Not so much. What makes the story even better is that the pilot works for United, the airline that I fly about 90% of the time... lovely.

I don't know what possesses people to drive after they drink, but compared to a pilot deciding to drink before getting on a place- WTF? Was he also retarded? 'Cause that's the only reason I can think of that someone would do something so stupid.

Anyway, maybe they should install those breathing tubes in cockpits, so that pilots couldn't "start" a plane before passing the breathalizer test.

*I have nothing against mentally- or physically disabled/challenged individuals... and had I not moved to Boston a few years ago this word would not be in my vocabulary. Thanks Boston!
