perhaps this is the result of the way they train pilots now. the fast track system that gets them into the seat at 400hrs, we don't want any stinking pilots with outside expierience that earned it the hard way! then spend 95% of their time on auto-pilot.

A cop was having a rather slow night so he goes and parks in a parking lot across from a local pub and begins watching to see who comes out. At about 1:15 Am a fellow come pouring out the door stumbling and has to use the wall to stay upright. As the inebrieted fellow starts bouncing from car to car it seems he finally finds his car and as the cop watches the man takes several minutes to get his keys out and get the door to his vehicle open, the man gets into his car and soon the blinker comes on then the windshield wipers, on the off, finally the car lurches forward and makes a sweeping wide turn out onto the road. the officer leaps into action and pulls behind the car and turns his lights on, the car pulls over and the normal routine for the the officer ensues, license, registration etc. when he gets to please step out of the car the mane complies and the officer arrests him and gives him a breath-alyser which comes up 0.00, the officer has him blow again and it still comes up 0.00. the officer has a confused look on his face and the man asks what is wrong and the cop says something is wrong, it device keeps showing 0.00. The man says maybe I can explain that, I am the designated decoy! the cop looks back torwards the now empty parking lot at the bar....
