Not a pilot! just a humble and slightly concerned SLF.

Why are some who claim to be professionals in the aviation community so angry at the security staff who 'dobbed the pilot in'?.

Whos meant to report it then if theres a suspicion?. And the argument of dont worry if a pilot is over the limit as long as he's not tired - bizarre.

He's been arrested so presumably there may be a case to answer and the process of the law will follow. Extremely unpleasant for him (or her?) but whats the alternative?
