While I recognize alcoholism is a disease, assuming this pilot was an alcoholic and assigning him the role of victim is premature . Many people's lives were put at undue risk.
Odd that no more details or the pilot's name have been released.
There are some troubling details here..Where was the rest of the crew in all this? Why when it was reported in FRB, was the pilot allowed to fly two more legs.. He might have been incapacitaed but the rest of the crew allowed it to happen intentionally.
I hope this does not get buried and the facts come out.
