Tell you what 411A-apology not necessary.
What I would say though,is that what comes out of this is that your perception of VS has clearly been influenced by the manner in which this case was reported-so it is reasonable to suppose that the public would react similarly. The degree of presumption is considerable and this is both damaging and highly regrettable.
With regard to the case in the USA,the crew member was indeed arrested on suspicion of being over the b/a limit.This was reported in a BLAZE of sensational global publicity. After having had his passport witheld and spending around 7 months in the USA ,he pled guilty to a relatively minor charge in which alcohol did not feature AT ALL. Oddly,none of this was reported anywhere. However,as your posting 106 proves the damage had long since been done.
