This is the Citilink pilot staggering through security. Nobody said a thing about his condition, until passengers aboard the aircraft reported him as drunk because he was slurring his words. Scary.

JAKARTA - An Indonesian pilot who stumbled through airport security and repeatedly dropped his belongings before making a slurred announcement to his 154 passengers from the cockpit has been fired, officials said on Saturday.
The CEO of budget airline Citilink, a subsidiary of national flag carrier Garuda Indonesia, had also offered his resignation to take responsibility for the incident.

YouTube footage showed 32-year-old pilot Tekad Purna staggering through a metal detector at airport security and dropping his bag and belongings several times after arriving late for his flight on Wednesday from the city of Surabaya to the capital Jakarta.

After hearing a garbled and slurred announcement from the cockpit, scared passengers reported the pilot, accusing him of being drunk or on drugs.

The flight took off later with a new pilot but several of the passengers decided to cancel.

"The result of the investigation so far is sufficient for our management to take a firm decision and fire the pilot," Citilink spokesman Benny Siga Butarbutar told AFP Saturday.

And here's a video of the pilot in the cockpit.

Haha. And another one - in Canada this time. It must be pissed pilot season.

Pilot in Canada charged after allegedly passing out in cockpit before takeoff
Canadian police have charged a pilot from Sunwing Airlines with impairment after he was allegedly found passed out over his seat before takeoff early on Saturday.

Police said the pilot boarded the Boeing 737 with 99 passengers and six crew members in Calgary, Alberta, for a flight that was scheduled to make stops in Regina, Saskatchewan, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, before continuing on to Cancun, Mexico.

But before the flight took off, police said the gate crew as well as crew members on the aircraft indicated the pilot was behaving strangely. Police allege the co-pilot found the pilot passed out in the cockpit.

“They found him slumped over in the seat. He was the captain,” Calgary Sgt Paul Stacey told a news conference.

The pilot was escorted from the plane and has been charged with having care and control of an aircraft while being impaired, as well as having a blood-alcohol level exceeding 0.08 while in care and control of an aircraft.

Stacey said police were alleging the suspect had three times the legal amount of alcohol in his system.
