411A(Posting 106).
You are factually WRONG.No VS pilot has EVER been prosecuted re an aviation-related alcohol charge. The case to which I believe you refer(in the USA 4 years ago) was resolved without any mention or suggestion of alcohol,although the sensationalist reporting style at the time of the incident(not the prosecution itself)was very different.
If your posting contributes anything at all(debateable),it is to demonstrate the very damaging effect of innaccurate reporting and the corrosive results of the media being able to say pretty much what they like but NOT being required to reverse their sensationalism when the facts emerge,proving them wrong from the outset.
Now then 411A,point us all in the direction of ANY link or documentation which backs up your words-or offer an apology.
