      Oh, you’re not gonna want to look at the stats on how many commercial pilots are drunk as skunks while flying, much less any other time. 😅🤔😬

        that’s bullshit.

        According to, U.S. pilot alcohol violations range from 5 to 25 annually over the last 20 years, with 7 violations in 2022.

        0.1% fail on random checks.

        7 violations in 118,000 pilots.

            Sure… But there aren’t facts on occurrences. Violations seems like it would be a strong indicator of occurrences. If not, why?
