Flying drunk : a Northwest Airlines flight, three drunk pilots, and one man's fight for redemption / Joseph Balzer.
Flying drunk :
For as long as he could remember, Joe Balzer dreamed of flying. He pursued his goal with a vigorous passion and earned his pilot licenses, piling up hundreds of hours of flight time with a wide variety of planes and jets, with one overarching goal: to one day fly for a major airline. After a frustrating and ultimately failed attempt to fly for Delta Air Lines, his long-held dream came true when he landed a job in 1985 as a Second Officer flying a Boeing 727 with Eastern Airlines. As far as Joe was concerned, it was the break of a lifetime - a dream job with a great company with a marvelous route structure and distinguished flying history. But Joe had a problem. And he refused to admit it to himself or to others. Joe Balzer was an alcoholic.
