You've missed stories of pilots being removed from airplanes because
they're under the influence?

Nope, didn't miss em at all. During the 22 years I was involved in the
airline industry, it probably happened 3, maybe 4 times. Not a very
significant rate of occurence, Doug. For example, note your citation
below -- an event that took place *28* freakin' years ago!!!!


My dad saw one rounded up while he was trying to shmooze a stewardess who
was taking tickets from boarding passengers. The guy smelled like a
brewery. A passenger noticed. (Tampa, approx 1978)
