Thanks for your well constructed and logical points. Like DX Wombat, I think you owe HD an apology.
The sentence of 6 months is 1/4 of the maximum, so it could be said that this pilot was sentenced heavily. Would you be quite so venomous had it been a bus driver? He has probably got 6 months because he is supposed to be inteligent, well versed in safety, and in a responsible position in society, in other words, he should have known better.
He is a forgien national, so as I understand it he will serve 6 months, not 4.
One mistake? Do you know that it was one mistake? Or has he made a few others? You don't know, nor do I.
Yes, he was under the drink drive limit, however he was not convicted of drinking and driving.
HD is entitled to his opinon, just as you are....
