Could I just check.. has anyone objected to the thread/title about a drunk army officer? About "another drunken passenger"? No? I thought not...

It seems to be SOP on this forum to defend any brethalised pilot as..

"The limit is too low"
"He isn't normally like this"
"Nobody has ever been killed by a drunk pilot"
"How dare a security guard/bar tender/coach driver/passenger/anyone not a pilot report him"

Mr Owen, I have the greatest respect for you, but don't I recall one recently jailed pilot being tested as over the driving limit?

Oh, and there was much consternation about pilots being tested just outside a crew car park at wither Stansted or manchester recently. I seem to recall some talk of the pilots being "victimised"
