Remind Me Not To Fly Aeroflot

Aloha Kakou:

What's worse than a drunken Aeroflot pilot? How about when the Aeroflot representative tries to reassure the panicky passengers that "it's not such a big deal if the pilot is drunk."

"Really, all he has to do is press a button and the plane flies itself," the representative said. "The worst that could happen is he'll trip over something in the cockpit."

Um, I think I'll stick with our flawed but sober domestic airlines.
