Well ITN have just tried him and found him guilty. They linked it to the Oslo incident saying that they had both resigned and been dismissed.

If journalists had said these kind of things that they are saying about this Virgin pilot in other cases I am sure that they would be in contempt, and certainly predudice a fair trial. ITN, what happened to innocent until proven guilty??!!

This kind of scare-mungering reporting sickens me. Don't get me wrong, I am all for a zero tollerence alcohol policy, but don't hang the guy until he has had a fair trial (not that that would happen in the UK after this kind of report).

ITN you report was
