A Spokesman for BAA Heathrow said -
' The safety and security of our passengers is our absolute priority and we work with the police and other authorities to make sure they are safe '
Huh ??
Since when did the Spaniards tell the Heathrow wallahs -
' Hey, let's forget about profits, servicing bank debts, return on our investment, expanding retail areas, getting that third runway, arguing with the British Government about which airports we have to sell, building a new terminal to replace Terminal 2,
PR'ing our way through the jibes and accusations about what a dump Heathrow is,
PR'ing our way through the Terminal 5 nightmare that was, and all that other silly financial stuff....We want you to to put at the top of your priorities, sniffing out flightcrew who may have had some alcohol last night '
Sure ! You can imgaine the Boardroom in Madrid applauding.....
If the guy had been drinking - idiot ! Deserves anything and everything coming to him if true.... And thanks for nothing to his own OPS people for not stopping him going out to the aircraft if the effects of any alcohol were so obvious....
But are the BAA and their own Security Staff the appropriate people to decide whether to call the police ?
Wonder when was the last time these same Security Staff called the police when they saw one of their mates about to drive home from the pub and suspected that the mate might be over the limit ?
I hope the guy proves them wrong - yet again at Heathrow....But absolutely no sympathy if he had been drinking - just plain stupid....
