    Re: The Lexington ATC was NOT doing traffic count after he cleared Comair 5191 for takeoff.

    Why would the crew get on the wrong aircraft?....

    Polehinke ordered chicken fingers and took two beers to go within 12 hours of the accident, according to the NTSB file.

    Marx said Comair prohibits pilots from drinking alcohol within 12 hours of a flight. Federal Aviation Administration regulations bar alcohol within eight hours of a flight.

    But Marx said medical records provided to the NTSB show that both pilots tested negative for alcohol.

    What did he do with those beers? Maybe he tested negative for chicken fingers too.
