OK guys , what is your point ?
" amongst the best I have flown with " , " a good guy to fly with " , " good memories " etc...
Does it means it is OK to report for Duty with alcohol in your blood well above the legal limit ????
Of course if he was a nasty fellow to fly with , then it would have been unacceptable ?
Who cares if he was a nice guy or not , it is just not professional and totally unacceptable to sign in for duty unfit to fly.
How would you react if amongst the passengers there were your wife and kids ?
