At the very least, you know your pilot is awake and has something to live for.

Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Which one isn't typical, getting to fly again, or snorting coke off tits before flying?

Like a wave, in the ocean ?

[–] SenatorCollins@aussie.zone 3 points 23 hours ago

Oh yeah. At sea? Chance in a million!

Well there are a lot of these drugs going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that drugs aren’t safe.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well what about these drugs, weren’t they safe senator?

[–] SenatorCollins@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago

Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Not as a wannabe pilot...

[–] lokiprime@lemm.ee 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Honestly I'm just jealous.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

I’m just surprised he got in trouble.

I thought this was why people became pilots.

He’s not flying for BA. The headline is a bit misleading IMO.

[–] uservoid1@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

From the title it seems to be a mandatory requirement in order to fly again. Would a flat surface be enough? or must it be those BA specific requirements?

Weird, I wouldn't think that cocaine was the drug of choice to stay stuck sitting in a closet size pilot cabin doing nothing but checking on the auto-pilot.

[–] Chairsareoverrated@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

God forbid a guy do anything

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Cancel culture run amok!

[–] TassieTosser@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Did he get sacked because of the drugs or the tits?

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Why are they remaking Flight (2012)?

[–] socsa@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

If you don't want to know how the sausage is made...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago

Damn. That dude was high off a single line of coke for 2 years?!

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Isn't some of the cocaine going to stick to her boob? Seems inefficient.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I should become a pilot

Fucking rights bud
