scatty Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 dont agree with drink driving.....id always give someone the benefit,weve all done summat wrong, but to be caught twice.....im guessing those gtr's must be proper s**te to have lost it doing 60mph....... hopefully the lesson has been learnt.....as said, it could have been us coming the other way.....

-Stealth- Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 captain at 25?? to have a car like that is one thing but to be a in charge of a passenger jet at that age Think theres quite a bit of irony how insurance companies make out young drivers are more likly to have accidents yet an employer can put him in charge of a machine that is responsible for carrying over 100 people.If I knew a pilot younger than me was in charge of my flight and already convicted of drink driving I would seriously reconsider boarding!

Scratch Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Absolutely no sympathy.What an idiot.Did it once, OK, can accept the young and stupid bit, (have know others who have done it just the once) but to do it again and trash the car in that kind of grand display. Then run away from the scene and not even have the balls to stand up and be counted for his errors. At least he came back, so some minor credit for that.I'm glad no one else was injured. It's a shame he wasn't, maybe that would have been enough of a wake up call.As for ruining his high flying career, sorry, again no sympathy. Maybe he'll have to try working hard like the rest of us, and earning his toys, maybe then he'll take better care of them.Idiots like that should take the bus.

Maybe he'll have to try working hard like the rest of us, and earning his toys, maybe then he'll take better care of them.the guy was a tw4t for doing this but wishing injury on him is harsh mateand he did work hard.......thats the thing......he worked hard and played hard!!!

shaky Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 really???.........did not know that!!!Oh yes, i have the power and the technology, lolAgree with you Ady, weve all been daft in our time and i know most of us have ditched a car (or 7) at one time or another. I only got involved because he legged it and then claimed he wasn't driving.Always amazed me how your driving licence doesn't reflect on your pilots licence for some offences. (obviously speedings not an issue but you would have thought DD was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I understand people can make mistakes, I know other people who've done it, but twice....No sympathy whatsoever, clearly he does not learn from his mistakes, unless the stakes are high enough, I wonder if loosing his GTR and his job will be high enough stakes ? Maybe, maybe not....A bit of physical injury might have upped the stakes high enough to enable the learning curve to be ascended...I hope for everyones sake you're right and he won't do it again....

Agentsjj Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Irresponsible, totally irresponsible.I think the court was very lenient with him considering it was his 2nd offence for the same thing. I think he will find it very difficult to get another job as a top level pilot with a DD conviction hanging over him, which should bring him down to earth. What a waste of talent, if he's as good as you say he is. No matter how good you are at what you do no one is above the law!!!Surely someone who is in the high powered position that he was, even at a young age, who is responsible for millions of quids worth of plane and daily many hundreds of peoples lives, is able to know how much he has had to drink and the fact that he shouldn't drive when he has had too much. It clearly all went to his head, in more ways than one, and his arrogance got the better of him.When I was a kid we lost a great family friend, who was a racing driver by profession and who I looked upto, along with nearly losing a cousin in the same accident (Chris had both legs broken in 9 places!!!! and didn't think he would ever walk again) in the Isle of Man when a drunk driver hit and rolled over their car in his huge Jag. He was a local big wig and could afford the best Barrasters and pretty much got off lightly. This has stuck with me throughout my whole life and I have always had a real issue with Drink Driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
