Jim, What about not cooperating with an investigation? Parker initially refused a breatholizer test, and he told the police that he had about 3 beers in 2 hours. According to his license he is 6'3" and 220 lbs.,IIRC, which means that he would have to have consumed at least double the 3 beers in that timeframe, according to PENNDOT's scale on their website. Do you think these are serious enough offenses to be terminated? After all, lying to the authorities can not be desireable for an airline CEO.
That's getting beyond my very limited expertise. From some comments posted at the time, it may have been within his rights to refuse the breathalyzer as long as he took the blood test. Don't know if that's right or not, but I would want to know for sure before I hung that on him.
He said only 3 LOL http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt..._US207%26sa%3DN
Could not help my self was to good!
I was told and I don't have this in writing that the IAM is going to treat the change of control and the transition as TWO separate issues, This comes from a man I trust on the west negotiations team for MX. The 21/22 are not far off this may be a window to what is next. Have a good one my BROTHERS
Some states the Breath Alyzer isn't a viable option, many times they issue incorrect readings. I am not saying either way drunk or sober, but if you know that you were drinking, it would be wiser to submit a blood or urine sample. You can have just a swig of beer and the Breath Alyzer may give a false reading, the concentrated breath. If you think you are not over the limit, the Blood is the way to go for the most accurate reading. But with most if not all states setting the limit at .008, it does not take much for the average person to get that far. Some people are capable of handling themselves at that level rather well, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. When I drank, I would not touch the wheel of a car. My life is more important to me. I am not condoning no one on this but it is My decision. I have my company to run and I never wanted to put myself in that predictament and embarrassment.
I BET DP doesn't feed his kids cup noodles soup or Ramon's soup as the main meal of the day and hot dogs are the main meat on the table Pot pies thees days at $7.50 hr you are splurging. 🙁 :angry:
in most states, the moment you decline a breathalyzer you've broken the implied consent law. seasoned alcoholics and multiple offense dui offenders will often decline the breathalyzer test and request a blood test. why? for the very simple reason that they believe that the time it will take to transport them to the hospital and have blood drawn will lessen their BAC. that is, incidentally, a myth. BAC continues to rise for up to two hours after the last gulp. the obvious variables being amount of food consumed and drinking history, i.e., liver damage. so, yes, it was within DoUgIe's rights to request a blood test; his reasoning, however, are clearly less than...pure, IMO, of course.
