Prouse grew up in a poor family in Wichita, Kan. where both his mother and father died of alcoholism

Northwest Flight 650 is not a flight that many college students remember because they were very young or not born yet. The infamous flight on Mar. 8, 1990  traveled from Fargo, N.D. to Minneapolis, Minn. and was captained by Lyle Prouse.
When he got off the plane, authorities met and questioned him for 12 hours for having flown under the influence of alcohol. Prouse was allowed to fly home to Atlanta, Ga. the next day where he immediately entered into alcohol treatment.
lax car rentals Prouse spoke to UND on Wednesday at the Chester Fritz Auditorium for the aviation program’s annual fall safety seminar about his journey with alcoholism, public humiliation and his way back to flying. Prouse spoke at UND 10 years ago.
Prouse grew up in a poor family in Wichita, Kan. where both his mother and father died of alcoholism. He entered the Marines right after high school, where he spent 11 years making a name for himself and doing whatever it took to become a pilot.
In August 1990, Prouse was sentenced with the two other pilots from that flight. Since he was captaining the flight, his punishment was the heaviest — 16 months in Atlanta federal prison. He was sanctioned by the judge so he would never be able to fly again.
Prouse was told if he ever wanted to fly again, he would have to start at the bottom — something he was determined to do. With the help of the judge who sentenced him, the sanctions were lifted. He received his first four pilot licenses quickly and, in 1993, was re-hired by Northwest Airlines.
“The day the licenses physically arrived, I received a phone call within an hour,” Prouse said. “It was a representative of the pilots union for Northwest Airlines. He said, ‘John Dasberg, President and CEO of Northwest Airlines made the decision to bring you back and re-instate lax car rentals you to full flight status’ Why he did that is beyond me.”
Prouse spent the next four years doing what he loved — flying for Northwest Airlines. lax car rentals Prouse did not think it could get better, but it did in 1997. Prouse got a call informing him that Dasberg had again done the unthinkable, and had allowed him to become a 747 Captain for the last year of his career.
Prouse spent the final year of his career at Northwest flying Boeing lax car rentals 747s around the world. In January 2001, he received a presidential pardon by former President Bill Clinton, wiping his record clean.
“How fortunate can somebody lax car rentals be? I can go anywhere on the face of this planet. I can climb mountains. I’m still flying a little airplane. I still got an FAA first class medic,” Prouse said. “The only thing that I can’t do is ingest a substance that’s lax car rentals become toxic to me.”
