Not necessarily. In many jurisdictions you can only let an employee go for cause. That means as an employer, you have to prove to the courts that you had a good reason to let the employee go.

The crew member was charged by the police. That does not mean that she is guilty of a criminal offense. Even if further blood analysis provides sufficient evidence to establish that a person was under the influence of alcohol, there can be a number of medical explanations. Until someone has been found criminally guilty by the courts, it is nothing more than a medical incapability, which may or may not provide sufficient grounds for termination.
