777fly,
What should Police do when someone is reported to have been drinking? Just let him fly?
He was also found to be above the limit, period.
But he is not treated as a drunk pilot by the authorities; he is "only" fined, and not arrested and prosecuted for endangering lives as would be expected for a really drunk pilot.
I think you could consider the fine a warning. The most he will worry about is how his company will act.
I would be interested to know if there was a standard check in EHAM
Checks are random and rare, but there was one a few weeks ago at the crewcenter for home- and foreign pilots alike (result: no offenders).
