The commander owes a legal duty of care to his passengers and crew for whom he is legally responsible. And so, faced with this situation, I would have no qualms in calling the police. Anything less is to fall short of one's responsibilities
I understood this to mean that you would call the police as the aircraft commander hence my reply to you.

Pvmw. Post #53 is so wide of the mark I can’t be bothered to rebut in detail. “Handled internally” is not a cozy cover up. If you knew anything about what happens to a pilot suspected by an employer of having a drink problem you would not have posted that daft scenario.

You are welcome to an opinion, and you are entitled to yours.

However some opinions are worth more than others…now that’s patronizing.
