Thumbs down

You only have to look at the dec 1998 arrest at LHR of a senior royal brunei captain for drugs to recognize that the industry does have a problem it is not addressing. when said pilot subsequently provided the DFO with a report on what was going on and implicated seven other captains as well as many cabin crew and some engineers, what did they do about it? yep nothing. several of these scum are still employed there while others went to bigger and better jobs. Their only other action was to shut down all publicity at a great cost. universal alcohol/drug testing across the whole industry is the only answer.has there been a case of an airline pilot actually flying a jet while intoxicated on drugs/alcohol? im afraid to tell you the answer is yes.
