Back home we have one of the srtictest drink/drive laws.
It takes no more than 3 days to get the results for a blood alcohol test, and it is called operating under influence. One is first breathalyze tested and then if there is a question will the suspect set for a blood test.

Breathalyzer tests are notoriously inaccurate, We experimented with eating fruit as after a few hours of having apples, oranges, bananas etc breathalyzer reading went up.

I'll repeat my previous post

a) He was reported by a busdriver, a specialist that is
b) F/O on the flight and other crewmembers did not notice anything suspicious (a conspiracy perhaps)
c) Company has not suspended him
d) Pilot in question is, by the company, considered innocent until proven guilty
e) Something is wrong when it takes 6 weeks to get results of an blood alcohol test
d) in UK the tabloid papers are prosecutor, judge, jury and the hangman... No need for justice, in the public eye the man is guilty, regardless the truth
