Are you F**King Kidding? He sold out the Eastern, Pan Am and TWA pilots while head of ALPA. He grew up as an Eastern brat, his dad, Slim, was a Captain for 30+ years. He took his huge salary because the Delta scumbags put him on their pilot seniority list, so Babbitt could keep his cushy ALPO job and the 150% of the highest negotiated Captain salary in the industry. Babbitt sold his soul, if he ever had one, to the devil. ALPO is now on the hook for $500 million plus to the TWA pilots for "failure to represent", in their failed effort to get AA pilots back into the union.
Some poor cop just made the No-Fly-Forever List
Well . . . . Here's another one for American funny names (or what!).. Now either this guy is a Randy Rabbit or he's like, sort of a loose female rabbit... Bandy (legged) Rabbit..
LOL

Drunk drivers deserve what they get when they get caught. I have to wonder though. How many of you Mr. perfect guys text, twit or play with your cell phone while driving. That's just as bad if not worse than driving drunk.
It's good that he is off the road and didn't hurt anyone...driving on the wrong side is nasty stuff....however, its time for him to retire and get some help....definitely flown too many missions (with or without a helmet!).
Example: Members of congress are legally allowed to use inside knowledge of changes in the law to influence their decision to buy or sell company stock. For anyone else in this "land of the free" it is a felony.

So what, he got caught driving under the influence; his job does not restrict his performance like say a pilot or air traffic controller who deal in real-life situations; he was just another paper pusher. Really he is just another person not bright enough to heed the recommendatons - that is not grounds for dismissal or any other action by the FAA.
Our Regional Manager a decade or so back got so drunk on a flight home, caused a major disturbance both on the plane and in the airport.
He was treated leniently (because of his Aviation position) that is until he arrived home. Security tried to convince him to take a 20-min taxi ride home but he gave the Security the slip, but was spotted leaving his 'secured' parking spot at the airport.
Security called the police who stopped him, gave him a free night at the Crowbar Hotel when his blood/alchol level far exceeded .08. Lost his license for 3 months plus high fines.
Moral of the story, he was transferred to HQ and a bigger job responsibility involving the entire country!!
