Well to answer KEWR question about intoxicated SAS pilots a while ago. It's nothing that has been up in the media over here. Do you know what year this was?
I do recall the North West DC-10 crew that got caught flying intoxicated. Their laywer tried to defend them saying they were alcoholics and needed to the drunk to fly. Ofcause they should and were convicted.
Recently there was an british TV special on entoxicated british pilots. Maybe thats the one you remember? You see in the UK, you are not allowed to fly if you are physically impaired. Thats for the license, obviously the companies have theis more restrictive rules. I am sure that also these pilots were fired.
This brings me to my point. If there was such a case within the last 10 yeas, I am sure someone would remember, and these pilots would be fired.
Now, tax evasion, thats an other matter....but a tax criminal is only a very sane person in this country..
