Pilot Arrested For Drunken Mooning

What is it with regional airline pilots that they keep getting arrested for being found drunk and partially disrobed? Now a couple of Trans State Airlines pilots have been charged with public intoxication in Alcoa, Tennessee with one of them found mooning oncoming traffic on the Alcoa Highway. In a similar fashion to our previous naked pilot escapade, this one started out at a nearby restaurant with the two getting a little out of hand after being denied any more alcohol. That's when Jeffrey Saltis decided to show people his good side after dropping his drawers on the side of the road. Unfortunately for Saltis, one of the people who saw his backside was an Alcoa police officer. The other pilot, Michael Etzel was found intoxicated in front of an Applebee's with a female who was trying to take pictures of Etzel showing his derriere to the public. Both pilots, who fly for United Express, were released from custody with a charge of public intoxication and Saltis also receiving an indecent exposure charge. If these guys keep this up, I'll have enough to start a PointNiner's Pilots Gone Wild file.

Passenger cited for using cell phone on flight

A Dallas man was greeted by police when his Southwest flight arrived at Love Field on Monday after he refused to end a cell phone conversation during the flight from Austin. Southwest spokesperson Brandy King told the Dallas Morning News that “after multiple requests, the flight attendants were not successful in getting the passenger to get off the phone.” The jerk man, whose name was not released, was cited for disorderly conduct by the police. Unlike our European friends, it is still illegal to operate cell phones during commercial flights in the US. Airlines can even face a fine of up to $25,000 if cell phone usage is permitted according to Ms. King. Hopefully this will be a lesson to annoying d-bags everywhere who think they are so important.
