The drunk pilot probably will be sober IF he gets to his destination..........
Which do I prefer to fly with ?????? neither !!!!!!!!
Why are some people prepared to condone or mitigate on behalf of pilots who wrongly drink before duty ???? Some threads adopt the " I know he was drinking BUT......." approach.
Zero tolerance. Pilots are not exempted from drinking problems any more than other professionals operating in a stressful environment. Alcohol abuse is commonin all races and all classes. The safety culture must be to identify the warnings and indicators of problem drinking and problem drinkers before they arrive at the point where their careers, livelihood and the safety of their aircraft and passengers are in jeopardy.
