Not a good thing.

This happened in January, but the report was made by the news yesterday.

Newly released bodycam footage shows the tense moments after police allegedly removed a Southwest Airlines pilot from the cockpit for trying to fly while drunk in January.

Captain David Allsop arrived at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Georgia shortly prior to 6 a.m., according to WJCL News. However, TSA agents claimed they smelled alcohol on him. Allsop allegedly boarded the airliner and started pre-flight checks before officers arrived and removed him



 
I remember reading an article one time about the amount of pilots that were drunk on the job or drinking while at work and I found it alarming. I don't remember any of the stats though.
