It is amazing how people in the biz leap to the defense of this crew, and now that the thread's been moved, I'm sure more will follow.
Personally, I can wait for the evidence and facts to emerge over the drinking allegation, but who for the love of God would in their right mind be still up at 0415 partying before a 1000 departure, with a pick up from the hotel as early as 0730?
Jeez, some of you need to get a reality check and realise that Joe Punter doesn't have to actually see you in uniform to know you are crew.
Grow up and save it for days off !
