As far as I am concerned, whilst you are on company time, you should not be drinking alcohol to the extent, that 12hrs later you are unable to pass a breath/blood alcohol test. Regardless of the days gone by when biggles ruled the skies, you are all charged with a position of responsibility/accountability. It's your choice.... you choose for that responsibility to be to your employer, or towards the fare paying passengers that have chosen to travel with your employer. At the end of the day, many of you so often preach on these pages about professionalism and respect, yet when one person makes a rather bad decision, a large amount of you want to make excuses....
He tested positive. There is very little else to discuss. The individual concerned made a bad decision, and he will live with that for the rest of his life.
Moving towards those who suggest he should have called in sick..... If (and only if) he knew of a drink addiction, or was willing to admit to one, he would have found zero support here in Dubai from the company. This is not the western world, and those that think it is, are sadly mistaken.
blueside,
I believe your intentions were honorable, however a simple, 'no, you have the wrong person' would have done nicely. The past is the past.
