Drunken Air Ambulance Pilot Arrested Minutes Before Flight

WOW!!!!
So much for researching air medical companies. The flight in question wasn't a Angel Flight or Lifeguard flight, so it wasn't an air ambulance. It was a charter flight, in a POS C-414. I have a hard time believing that the wife actually thought the GF was a Nurse, calling BS on that one. None the less, the pilot got what he deserved..........................

Sorry about the title. I guess the article misrepresented the role of the flight too.
Unfortunately the public won't know that. I do know it has made the national news section in newspapers in Miami and San Francisco.

I'm confused. When googling, I see:
How is that not an "Air Ambulance" service? It's a Cessna 414 registered as an "Air Ambulance." The website for the company is http://www.federalairambulance.com/.
They are:
They offer three different levels of care, but all of them include medical services. The story quotes one person as saying the pilot's girlfriend was smoking inside the plane.
I agree that the news can really do a crappy job sometimes, but this still seems concerning.

I realize that the tone of my message came off totally wrong. I too tend to stand up for EMTs when I read articles throwing around accusations.
After reading another version that includes facts, I see that while he failed the field tests, he had a .007 when tested. That is well under the limit required by the FAA.
The lack of professionalism still concerns me.
