Coconuts - you don't have to look too far back when passengers ended up being responsible for hundreds of lives with devastating consequences.
If the allegations are true then the culprit should indeed be hung out to dry and let it be a lesson to anyone else abusing responsibility in such a way.
If, as Khaosi was suggesting, it's all a big mistake (which I hope it is) then my thoughts will also be with the person concerned.
If there is a big problem "with pilots and alcohol" then don't bite your lip spit it out and let's hear about it.
