    If the plane flew itself then why do they need pilots? Oh wait someone has to land big bird and get big bird off the ground. :biggrin_25517:

    Well it's not just russian pilots that indulge. I seem to recall afew years back when the TSA was going after a whole bunch of pilots for a company called "Eastern". Drinking seemed to be a popular problem for alot of the sky jockeys.
