Jumpseater,
Highly unlikely particularly for a first offence. The company would interview the individual to see if there was an alchohol dependancy issue or other issues.
This might have been the case in the past, but no longer. In industry nowadays you, as an employee, will have been made aware of a drugs and alcohol policy. This policy will include instant dismissal in cases of safety critical roles (some organisations apply this to all staff). Safety critical roles include command roles and decision roles as well as those operating in hazardous environments and or machinery that is dangerous.
I have a few comments to make on this event; first, stop being defensive and think "how do others see us". Next, read the following with that thought in mind.
1/ These gentlemen get to stay in rather plush accommodation out with a combat zone yet operate (whether by decision making, or flying) in a combat zone. How does their behaviour appear in the eyes of those persons (all nationalities) that are in active combat zones?
2/ These gentlemen are leaders, decision makers, pilots. How clever is their decision making going to be, even if they were not flying in the next twenty four hours?
3/ How does the behaviour of these gentlemen make the UK military appear in the eyes of our allies, and those Arabic nations who, as part of a UN mandate, have given us permission to operate in Libya?
4/ Is the high standing that the R.A.F. had in the past continuing to be eroded by acts such as these? If these gentlemen were off duty for the next twenty four hours then perhaps they might have been better remaining in their hotel whilst getting inebriated to such an extent.
