wrxloaf:
Ah yes the FAA is very quick to punish midnight shifts across the board with a pre-holiday weekend decision...

Meanwhile Drunkee McGee's personal display of negligence isn't the topic of concern.

comperini:
Since she's been fired, I don't think it was a medical issue. According to this, she's no longer employed

Talk is that she had a stroke, not was drunk. But let's not take away from any of your potentially false assumptions.

The article says that she no longer works for the FAA.  It does not say that she was fired. I highly doubt that she was fired.  She worked for the federal government.  In the government world of employment it takes time to terminate people.  Things just don't happen that quickly. 

I worked in law enforcement for 30 years before retiring.  I dealt with more than my fair share of drunks.  She did not sound drunk.  It sounded like a medical issue to me. 

She sounds just fine in this earlier clip.
