Personal wellbeing hint: Do not ever joke about an airline pilot's recent alcohol intake, as the article suggests. This has been done, was treated as a genuine accusation, and precipitated cancellation of the flight.
Don't fully recall consequences to the joker, but they weren't good, starting with being identified by seat number to fellow passengers.
- mirimir 8y agoThat would, of course, be stupid. But given the capability to know such information, you'd also know the names and email addresses of all passengers. So just send a report on the pilot to them all. From a thoroughly anonymized and proxied account. Including yourself as a recipient.
- bronco21016 8y agoUnfortunately, the day and age of social media requires any accusations, joking or not, to be treated as real. How horrible would it be for an airline to allow the pilots to fly when someone suggested they may have been unfit to fly and the accusation was recorded with employees of the airline shown to be aware of the accusations. The lawsuits would be ridiculous. Don’t joke around about things in the airport or on an airplane. Safety and security are generally number one in the minds of the front line employees. Turns out we like going home alive too.
