Say a crew member is accused to have been drinking on positioning duty...
- would witnesses' statements be enough evidence to lead to summary dismissal if all that was seen was the purchase of alcohol and the drinking of a drink that did not actually contain the alcohol purchased?
- does the burden of proof lay with the accused?
- how does the balancing of probabilities work?
also,
- would not stopping a colleague on positioning duty from consuming alcohol -when one does not know whether they've drunk it or not- be a good enough reason for summary dismissal?
Any insights welcome!
