And how are you going to get to work for the next couple of years? Walk?

Someone will notice. Someone will guess. Rumours will abound. Somone will be a real drink driving Nazi. They will shout their mouth off. A mate of a mate who works in the local rag will hear. He will check the court briefs. He will compile a lovely little expose to shock the local populace. He will put it on file for a slow news day. That day will come.

"Drunk Driver Flies A 60 Ton Jet Over YOUR House EVERY Day!"

"Drink Drive Convict At Control Of Holiday Plane!"

"Hello This Is Your Captain Speaking - Hic!"

Etc. etc. etc.

For a small regional operator such press coverage could lead to a temporary drop in sales of say 10%, causing a temporary cash flow problem, causing the company to go under in these marginal times.

You'd be the worst kind of liability.

Sorry, I don't wish you ill. I don't have a big problem personally with being a little bit over the limit. Hell, just over half of all pedestrians killed in "Alchol related accidents" were over the limit themselves.. And I know of far more people in their 20's who drive having taken E, Speed or Cannabis and driven that I do who drink and society does nothing about that.
