Untitled[edit]

I'm editing the violation of America West Policy.. Depending on AWA's definition of a "flight" the pilots had 8 minutes from opening their bar tab at 10:30 p.m. until the 12 hour cut off at 10:38 p.m. As this also leads into the defense argument I think its better to go a little more general, and not adopt a specific POV. If however information about AWA's policy definition of a "flight" was added to the article to clarify when it begins to better define the 12 hour rule, that would be great Cliffb 22:53, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would think the prosecution could have come back and argued that they had every intention of knocking back a few. After all, they were good enough to get the tug driver to admit he didn't start driving the tug until the pilots ordered him to do so.Blueboy96 02:56, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Legally drunk[edit]

I'm not a native speaker, but shouldn't it be "illegally drunk"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.52.98.0 (talk) 23:22, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Legally drunk" in this case means "drunk in the legal sense". Compare legally blind, which does not refer to actual blindness, just vision impaired to the point where the law equates it to blindness. Also, note that being drunk is in itself not actually illegal (in the vast majority of locales), it is the performance of certain actions while drunk which is illegal. Of course, some real native speaker will probably turn up and correct me here...85.224.98.84 (talk) 23:16, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
