True. In that case, the pilot was acquitted by the jury when he claimed that he was going thru security so that he could tell his captain that he was too drunk to fly. He claimed to have consumed a large quantity of irish whiskey while he was asleep. I hate it when I drink in my sleep.IORFA said:

He had un-named AA executives testify on his behalf plus his Ohio Nat Guard commander testified for him.
If this pilot is acquitted or the charges are dropped, then yes, he might stay on with the airline.
But a guilty verdict or plea will likely end his employment.
