According to this posters quote from another source the copilot would have been drunk if he had been at the stick. Good thing they arrested him, drink flying. Geee the 200+ passengers were luckier than they realized.

Ooops misread the story, it is possibkle that he was not in violation of the airlines laws.

It seems that you have all over looked the fact that the time line of arrest and departure of the flight suggests that this Co-Pilot for JAL was intoxicated when there is a law that talks about how long a pilot should be free of alcohol before flying a comercial…

In this day and age it seems that the qualification is more important than the ability. Previously a degreed engineer built big machines and bridges etc but now its the prerequisite for being a cleaner. Degrees are obviously easier to get and do not carry the same weight as they…

The degree requirement has less to do with a skillset and more of an indication that the person's at least somewhat reliable and disciplined, I'd imagine.

Could be true but it is more disciplined to learn that you don't get paid when you take a sick day or get fired…

The large companies are all top heavy with non productive staff. Modern IT methods of teaching English are dreams for cost cutters but the bottom line is that a student needs a mentor to lead by example how to pronounce and express the language not a computer. The large companies…

Safety is not on the top of Japanese peoples list I have noted. Kids running around in car parks, riding bikes late at night without lights when they should actually be in bed for the night and the most insane thing grown adults do is stand directly behind a backing…

Ahh yes must have been rape by logic since prostitution is illegal in Japan (last time I heard anyway) so he must have raped rather than not paid. None the less, any way you look at this story you gotta think something is strange. The story is a bit ambiguous…

Agree with ironchef also, last week I made the same comment "for a country surrounded by sea, they are the worst I know of for watermanship"
