Unwell_raptor,
The mirror headline was "Cops haul drunk pilot off jet". Nothing like being innocent until proven guilty.
On the side of security shopping crews we now have had two high profile events which were false alrms. Can you imagine what their families lives have been like for the time during which they were charged. I also do not believe that they will lose the stigma of being arrested whilst "drunk". The system is wrong & being administered by the wrong people. Maybe it is time for routine preflight tests with a sensible limit in place.
