JetBlue Pilot Flew 2 Flights While Drunk

Just stumbled across a NYPost article stating a JetBlue pilot flew 2 flights while drunk last April

When his Breathalyzer registered a .111, the sloshed skipper blamed the results on the “gum that he was chewing,”
Murphy piloted two flights that day – No. 583 with 119 passengers aboard from JFK to Orlando and No. 584 with 151 passengers from Orlando back to JFK, according to the complaint.
Pretty bad and scary stuff. Article goes on to state that at one point he was the only one at the controls when his co-pilot went to the restroom.
