‘Obviously, the general public doesn't want to fly with pilots that are high in more than one way.’

I laughed way too hard at this for some reason.

I'd much rather have a high pilot than a hung-over/drunk pilot though which seems to be quite common.

Pilots being drunk in the cockpit is not “quite common” at least among major carriers. Pilots are randomly tested throughout the year against a stricter standard than what’s used for driving under the influence in the US. A positive test can be career ending.

Not to derail the conversation. I agree, the delivery within the OP was spot on.
