Er why? Did he kill anyone? Was there any independent measure of the level, if any, of incapacitation or the impairment of his decision making capability. Is there any indication that that particular flight would have been operated at a lower level of safety than any other, particularly one with a less experienced or more fatigued pilot at the controls? I think you'll find the answer is no. The offence committed was to arrive at the aircraft over the limit for alcohol. Not murder. Not even attempted murder. Perhaps the Court of Pprune could sentence FGH to ten years for reading The Sun too much? Anyway, don't you have a peedofile [sic] lynch mob to organise?
