Smithy, see "Airbuba" on page one. Looks like Skipper already reported him to the company, union, welfare and anyone else who would listen before returning to the cockpit and offering poor old cojo the option ! Remember too that we are commenting on 'alledged' reporting by the media. They sometimes get it wrong. Like others, I too have faced the problem. At Base, easy. Downroute with 10 hours ahead and no replacement, some careful judgement. No covering the out & out drunk looking to punch everyone in sight & grabbing at every ass (male & female), but the odd rolling of the eyes, slight whiff, "Before shtarts complete" instead of "Before starts complete" requires the Command judgement for which we are all paid fortunes for.........................yeah right !
