I'll disengage if you will, just as long as the final post on this thread reads:
So we're agreed. Pilots who are on operations and who are discovered drunk in a public place for whatever reason - be it stress related, cultural indoctrination, institutionalised stupidity or simply an inability to control themselves - are not to be lauded as 'professional' or 'excellent' pilots, or even tolerated as 'unlucky' pilots. They are poor pilots, and we shouldn't have to share the skies with them.
