Some people here seem to advocate a zero tolerance approach to this particular offence. I would be interested to know whether they would stand up to the scrutiny they would propose to put pilots under.
If you (and I mean the likes of jet_noseover, will fraser and fincaslte84) have ever allowed your car to go over some arbitarily set speed limit, should you be banned forever because you could have killed a child? If your answer is yes then by all means condemn any pilot who should be found to have breached an arbitarily set blood alcohol limit.
Perhaps some people would be wise to recognise that whilst they're not perfect, neither is anyone else. Very few things in life are black and white, and this should not be one of them.
Will Fraser; are you actually advocating capital punishment?! Now that would be a really good way to stop reoffending - why don't you write to your congressman...
