Who has said he was over the limit?
I presume the officers who tested him and then proceeded with the arrest? Or are you saying they arrested him just because they didn't like the way he looked at them.
What I was pointing out is merely that his not being charged does not automatically mean that he was not drunk (i.e. "The water-bottle nazis got it wrong"), just that he had not committed a criminal offense he could be successfully charged with. Or is being drunk while merely wearing a pilot's uniform a criminal matter now?
As for suspension from duty (presumably with no pay?) not being of a disciplinary nature in itself, if that's your thing than good for you but it would certainly piss me off to no end (especially the no pay part).

Just because they are suspended from active duty doesn't mean they have done anything wrong. QED.
Just as charges not being pressed does not imply he has done nothing wrong, just that he won't be prosecuted for it in a court of law.
