He has now been charged by the Police in Washington with attempting to operate an aircraft while intoxicated which would suggest there is a reasonable body of evidence against him.
I agree Jet II, he has been named now by the BBC and is named in the links to news stories above, but if the moderators have requested he not be named he then that should be respected.
Hey, coconuts; have you never driven more than 30mph in a built up area?
I have, I do all the time, but I can't see how that is a comparable offence to turning up to fly a large passenger jet drunk.
Note: Notwithstanding the above, I am not presuming that this man is guilty. According to Virgin, he has been with the airline 14 years and has an unblemished record.
