Yip...

And most of you guys where willing to hang the poor guy before knowing the full truth.

A bus driver reports smelling something while none of the other crew notices anything different...

Police shows up and drags the poor guy out of the airplane, delaying the flight by hours.

Whos going to pay for the over 40000 Euro delay, the bus driver? or the police? Somebody must be made accountable. How about the needless inconvenience the PAX had to endure?

If it was me, I would sue the driver, bus company, the airport and the police and make them pay. In FInland it is illegal to turn a person in without grounds and now that the pilot has been cleared the bus driver has commited a crime.

It is not enough that pilots are being dished out a raw deal by many of the employers. Now we have all these "Experts" that go around sniffing our hinds and then calling police when in their 'Expert" opinnion something does not "Look right". In my books this is harrasment.
