Spoken like someone who doesn't know the background story.
It's true that pilots should be within limits at all times. It's also quite possible that the reason behind this incidence is indeed a tragedy.
As much as people like to think of us as a plugged-in accessory to the FMC, the fact is that we are human. The bean counters are struggling to forget that fact, so don't help them along.
Maybe he's a party guy who doesn't give a damn. Or, maybe his wife just left him.
It is a good thing he is not flying, true. That's not the same as "no tragedy here".
Your cowboy posturing is shallow and unprofessional.
Caring about the background story ends when he decides to put on a uniform and exercise his CPL or ATPL at the controls with paying pax in back when he's not sober.
Like it or not, that CPL or ATPL says you're held to a higher standard, and quite frankly it's asinine to consider doing so as "cowboy posturing" or "unprofessional".
Go "be deep" with him in counseling if you'd like. My sympathy ends where the flight line begins, and every passenger on that aircarft have lives just as worthy.
Like Seat 0A points out, would you let your loved one or yourself go under the knife of a surgeon who shows up to work on you 3 or 4 times the legal alcohol limit of what his profession allows to the point he'd be arrested for drunk driving? The anesthesiologist? Are you going to care that he's sad because his dog died or his wife left him? Get a grip kiddo.
