Unhappy

Just some thoughts after reading thru all this lot.

1. What ever happened to innocent before proven guilty?
2. Media sensationalsium yet again!
3. disgusting that once proven innocent sudenly the media
forget all about it.
4. Dont blame the ground staff and start questioning their
intelligence or how much they earn. What the hell has that
got to do with it. If you suspect someone of drinking before
flying then you have a duty of care to ensure the safety of
the aircraft and its pax too!
5. The meaning of the word "drunk" is completely differant to the
meaning of "above the legal limit".

All in all I guess we just have to wait for the facts and for the the authority to make their case. Same as every other process of criminal law. BTW has anyone actually seen any documented proof that the Oslo crew member was under the limit. Has it been reported anywhere? If so I reckon letters/emails/faxes should be direct at the media to ask why the fact this man is now in the clear has not been reported in the press. Surely the inital stories have bought his character into question!
