LD, I'm not in a position to comment on 'redeemed alcoholic pilots'. I've never met any, redeemed or not, which in itself should be a bit of a hint.
The inclusion of the words "Professional Pilot" in your original post, as a description of what I do, precludes me from EVER turning up to work unfit for duty.
I take exceptional offence that you are stating "I am a problem and need testing" because I enjoy a drink.
Should I be tested each time I get in a car, should you? Should you be tested before every post you make? There are probably more alcoholics, redeemed or otherwise, steaming up and down the M1 in 40 ton trucks. Not worried about those are you?
If I am tested I will not fail and I am not a problem, along with 99.999% of the pilot community. Much to your disappointment no doubt.
Chesty, a drinks cabinet owning, pub frequenting, mini bar using professional pilot.
P.S. If you can back up your statements with facts then I will be more than happy to hear them.
