Maybe you didn't intend it, but that sounds like someone looking for ways to weed out the top end of the seniority list. You suggest that we just toss him out with no opportunity to get well and return to duty. As I said earlier, addiction is a disease, and in a just society, you cannot discriminate against people with diseases. If they receive the necessary treatment to allow them to return to the workforce, they deserve to be reinstated.
