CA Drunk Pilot - Jailed 8 Months

[shyvas]

Pilot passed out in cockpit after bottle of vodka

There have been so many stories of drunk pilots on planes these last few months. It is so shocking that a person could be so irresponsable.
I wonder whether an alcohol test should be made compulsory before a pilot boards his plane ?

Doesn't really say how many passengers were on that plane. Regardless, you're right, it's an incredibly reckless thing to do.
