Flashback: Aeroflot

The legendary drinking habits of Russians were not comforting to passengers when the captain arrived drunk to fly the Moscow-New York route. Their mutiny was inspiring, though the initial response of the airline was not. Reminds me of when I lived in Russia and traveled regional routes. Memories like the drunk flight attendant who tossed boxed meals across the rows, and drunk passengers downing two bottles of vodka and being loud and obnoxious until they passed out. Yes, those were the days.
