oh so simple eh..............

JerryCoe, you make it sound soooooo simple!! When ever is life that simple?

For many piloys not drinking for 24 hour before flying means almost only ever drinking when on leave. Rosters can be that tight.

As for an alcoholic, you say "admit it" !!? Thats about as easy as getting a smoker to admit they are attempting suicide. You obviously know nothing about alcoholism....

If only there was a breathalyser that could detect fatigue or overtiredness! A huge percentage of the pilot population would be off sick tomorrow.

Never be scared of the chance of a 'drunk' pilot. But be very wary about how tired/fatigued your crew are.
