Yes, for an airline pilot to be inebriated while flying is worthy of termination, but a year and a half in prison plus a $250K fine is ridiculous. I can see if he had caused an accident, but the man was a fine pilot with an impeccable record. They decided to make an example of this man and threw the book at him. I also can’t help but wonder if there wasn’t some degree of racism involved. Also, why was he allowed to fly in the first place if FAA inspector Verle Addison thought the crew was intoxicated?? Based on that assessment they should not have been allowed to depart, but I strongly feel that Addison was setting up the crew to get caught and arrested, at the risk of the passengers, and for that I hope Mr. Addison lost his job. Like Captain Prouse I too came from a disadvantaged background ang have much admiration for people who are able to rise above their circumstances and be successful. It saddens me that everything this man worked for so hard was so easily stripped from him, but I am glad he got back on his feet and was able to take to the skies once again. Thank you for sharing your story, Captain Prouse. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honesty, contrition, and bravery. *by D***N on February 22, 2017* I remember when this happened. I was in high school at the time. I watched it on the news and remember judging the pilots harshly, and thinking they deserved what they got. I did laugh at the late night comedian jokes as well. I now have a deeper understanding of addiction, and have seen friends and other good people battle this. I'm a medical professional, and have seen the devastating effects addictions have on personal and professional life of the addicted individuals. I'm glad programs exist that allow professionals in recovery to resume their professional lives.I also have a casual interest in aviation and read quite a bit of aviation fiction as well as true stories such as this. I'm less than halfway through this book, and can hardly put it down. It's such a raw and honest insight into the incident and its aftermath through the eyes of Captian Prouse. I admire his determination, contrition, strength, honesty, and his ability to acknowledge how others were impacted by his alcoholism as well as his appreciation for their role in his recovery. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing man, amazing story! *by J***N on April 21, 2016* From a difficult childhood, this man with Native American roots, joins the Marines, and sets his sights on becoming a pilot, and he does so, first, as an A4 Skyhawk fighter pilot for the Marine Corps (flying combat sorties out of Chu Lai , RVN) and next (as he's progressed through the ranks) as a 747 Captain for Northwest Airlines ... and from this lofty position, the author and subject of this amazing book finds himself in a life-altering situation that quickly undoes all that he's worked so hard to accomplish. He is sentenced to prison, marking the low-point in his life, and thus begins his struggle to climb out of the hole he's put himself in, and to transform himself back into the position of respectability that he'd once earned/enjoyed. This man's remarkable story is a testament to belief in oneself, hard work, and a never-give-up attitude, and is must-read for anyone with an alcohol (or drug, gambling, etc.) addiction. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/107366449-final-approach-northwest-airlines-flight-650-tragedy-and-triumph](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/107366449-final-approach-northwest-airlines-flight-650-tragedy-and-triumph) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
