      There are still a few days left to get a pardon.

        I thought/figured pilots don’t go near booze 3+ days before a flight.

          I believe the maxim is "24 hours from bottle to throttle."

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Tough business. With all the travel and hotel stays. One of life’s best beers is the hotel lobby near when you’re traveling for business.

              The money isn't all that great either from what I hear.

                The article says 8 hours. You could easily have a couple of beers at the lobby bar, get your 8hrs sleep in, and fly the next day. This guy sounds like he went from the bar to the airport.
