Coconut The freedom of the internet is a wonderful thing on the whole, but the downside is it gives a disproportionate importance to the biased ramblings of people like yourself.

You say about pilots,
you rally around your own regardless of the possible potential consequences of their indulgent, undisciplined, reckless behaviour
The thing is, this is just not true. Professional pilots are nearly to a man and woman amongst the most disciplined, self-controlled and responsible set of individuals you could find. The job demands nothing less - it's as simple as that.

The real fact is that the incidence of alcohol as a contributory factor in airline accidents is simply not statistically significant. But I guess that's just not exciting enough for you.

Why don't you go jump on another bandwagon.
